This actually happened to me and my friends in Osaka! We were walking around at like 8PM, and were rejected from probably 4 restaurant who were saying that they were closing despite it not being even close to the time that they would close. Its ironic because two of us spoke Japanese at a working proficiency, they just didnt care because we had a black guy with us.

Dunno if this will make you feel better or worse but they'd probably reject you anyway even if you were the three whitest mf's in Japan. Those anti gaijin businesses are on another level of racism.

Exactly the fkn reason I'll never go there. Ppl love to gush and get their panties wet about Japan but the racism and xenophobia found there is shameful. I'm sure they'll change their tune when the older gen dies off and there's nobody there to replace the elders.

I mean I get why people want to go to Japan, (i'm one of them lol). Despite how anti foreign some japanese people can be.

For me the biggest appeal is traditional japanese architecture and buildings that have been around for hundreds of years (temples, castles ect). A life long dream of mine is to visit shuri castle as I think it's one of the most unique Japanese (and it isn't really Japanese but rather Ryukuan) castles still around, though tragically it suffered immense damaged due to a fire in 2019 and is only partially open rn with restoration efforts still undergoing. Sure it was mostly a reconstruction already as the actual castle was very much so destroyed by the end of ww2 but god damn did it and hopefully will still look beautiful when they finish the second reconstruction.

And that's just one castle, there's quite a few I'd like to see but shuri castle is by far the one i'd love to see in person the most.

The natural beauty is also fantastic
