It is because the word for the number four in Japanese, Shi, sounds exactly the same as the word death. So it is considered a sort of bad omen, which is why hospitals in Japan don't have a fourth floor.

The word "four" in Chinese is "suh". "Suh" also means "death". That's why it's considered a bad/unlucky number to Asians and others.
