Japan is xenophobic and actively avoids selling real estate to gaijin. When I visited with a friend, the first restaurant we went to in downtown Tokyo, the old crone waiter there scowled at us upon entry, sighed because we were gaijin that didn't speak Japanese, and then yanked a menu out of my hand when I grabbed one from the empty table nearby (it was a two-person party and she only provided one menu for my other travel companion and none for me). She then delegated the job of waiting our table to some young, brown Japanese girl that barely spoke English. As a first introductory experience, it kind of soured my interpretation of Japanese society. They deserve their fate of low birth rates and dying island culture because who would want to immigrate to such a compartmentalized, hostile society?
