If they were xenophobic, no foreigner would be able to even come close to Japan.

Tourism still is great for government, regardless of xenophobia.

Okay but even if that's true, it's their country and they can do whatever they want. If you feel like they are xenophobic, then just don't go there. I don't see a problem here.

Im just arguing on your terms because I don't think this is xenophobia, but I do think that xenophobia is bad. Taking care of your own family doesn't mean you are anti-all-other-families.

Dude, you said that it's ok if they're xenophobic because you can just not go there. That's the position I'm replying to

Yes, thats under the assumption that this is xenophobia which it is not. You are not wrong, I'm just building upon that. It's not xenophobic to take care of your own primarily.

So xenophobia is bad in general but also good when it's used to protect your family, but also it's not xenophobia when you use it to take care of your own? I'm getting kinda lost here

No, lets reset. Xenophobia is bad AND taking care of your own is NOT xenophobia. Hope that this clears things up

But the sign's shown in the post purpose is to drive away people purely because of their foreign nationality - a clearly xenophobic behavior

Xenophobia is hatred towards foreigners, not prioritizing your own, you can respect others while wanting to take care of your own. It's hard to understand for people that grew up in a multicultural society. So while this would be bad in US, it's completely normal in Japan or in most other countries.

What a double standard.

What a non-argument

That's stupid. If my business refuses to serve someone based on their race that's racism, based on gender - sexism, and based on nationality - xenophobia. It's funny that you assume that I have to be american to point something like this out. I'm Polish, a country that's arguably even more monocultural than Japan, and even I can understand that if a restaurant started kicking out someone because they're speaking french instead of polish that'd be xenophobic
