Not sure if there’s data about usage frequencies of metaphor across different languages, but metaphorical expressions can be used in Japanese just as well as in English.

As a regular, would you like me to fix that title typo from “does” to “do?”

As one example they mention 人生は旅だ.
So, I mean, yeah, that kind of thing isn’t that unusual to hear. But maybe someone has seen studies on how much different languages use metaphors.
