I got excited one time thinking oh man I should move to Japan, they seem to love everything about us here. But then I was told they really don't like us there though...oh well dream dashed.
Yeah Japan is incredibly nationalistic and homogeneous as a culture, not that there's a single thing wrong with that. I'm in the same boat, that I think it would be cool to live in Japan but I realize that Japan has the right to keep their country Japanese the same way America has the right to keep America American.

And I feel so ashamed to be envious of them for having something we used to...the ability so say yeah fuck all that we aren't changing for you.
New guy is going to let in immigration
They literally cater to weebs. They have an entire street for it. They made weebs a thing.
They don't hate foreigners, they just don't want to give up their culture, there's a difference.
There's no difference from being a tourist and living there if you respect their culture.
See my guest comment in the same thread.
They welcome foreigners, even people living there.
There's been many more asian ethnicities working there as well due to population shortages.
Very few natives work the small jobs like MickeyD's.
Weebs moving in are a small part, and most of them are English teachers welcomed by the schools.
The older generation is like that, newer generation is varies.
Everyone is nice, just know that you are a guest there, as it should be.
Doesn't mean you can't live there, just don't expect to be treated like Japanese (why should you be)
English teachers, engineers, etc. are very much welcomed at schools and companies.
It's a very nice place with clean streets, good schools, and hardly any crime.
They held onto a lot of conservative values that are long gone in America.
Texan, but Tokyo is my second home.
