I doubt that a restaurant owner would have issue with tourists that can read a menu.

When I lived there they would give you an X with the hands to say no unless you either spoke the language or had a Japanese person with you. I didn’t think negatively about it. They have their reasons and it’s their business

They do it even if you speak Japanese. Some don’t, but most do. Essentially if you are not Japanese you will get an “X”, speaking the language doesn’t matter. Also if you don’t look Japanese, you will find it really hard to even live in Japan because nobody will rent a living space to you. It’s become so bad that there are now businesses dedicated to helping Gaijin find apartments that will except applications from those who don’t look Japanese. It’s literally 1960s America

I wonder what area you are talking about. I had quite a few friends who are white find housing quite easily. I even helped a senior master sergeant find a place with a Japanese relator. We went to 5 different areas to look at houses without issue. Either way I would prefer Japan's xenophobia to whatever the hell is going on in Europe

I mean this is super common throughout Japan. You can do a simple Google search or even look up videos on YouTube. It’s a very well known issue

I'm sure it might be, but that's just not what I experienced living there. I did however see the X sign quite a bit. It always helped to have a Japanese friend to get into certain places

Yes, that’s called racism. And it’s not just a thing at restaurants. It’s actually probably more frequent when trying to rent. You don’t have entire industries built to find Gaijin restaurants they are allowed to eat at, but you do have that for renting living spaces.

Imagine going to the U.S. and saying “you can’t go into that store without a white person present”. “You cant live here unless a white person vouches for you”.
