I ran into this a lot in Osaka but not Tokyo. I literally ate all of my meals at one Chinese restaurant in Osaka because I was turned away at all the other restaurants. It was so disheartening I-

I'm a westerner and one of the main reasons Japan and all of Asia really have this is because we are TERRIBLE with respecting the culture. People with appropriate kimono, or harrass geiko or maiko.

I lived in Japan for 8 years and I remember when our real estate agent was calling landlords to ask if we could be allowed to rent from them and one of them was speaking loud enough to hear

I get the same thing with Latinos? Like a woman from Central America literally picked me out of line at the fabric store the other day when she needed a translator. I’m a no sabo kid so I was useless

I’ve only been turned away once, but it is common for people to assume I can’t speak Japanese. It also happens to my bf if I’m with him, which flusters him because he doesn’t speak English. 🤣

I don’t know I’ve seen this for many people, but I have never had that issue at all. Even now that I live in the country side of Japan, even very old restaurants where the owners are very old.

I never got turned away from a restaurant in Japan but maybe that's because I was only in big cities? The only place I was not allowed was the onsen, due to my tattoos.

One time when I was visiting, I was trying to buy some MTG cards for a friend, and was denied entrance because "Japanese Only." I was bummed, but I didn't take it too personally.

The curse of world travel is finding out that most cultures are racist (or at least xenophobic)

Japan is racist and nationalist. A lot of the world is, particularly the Asian nations. It’s not news. Also just don’t want deal with language barrier

I’ve travelled internationally a bit. Never mistreated. But I also study the culture before arriving and embrace the cultural values they appreciate. Respect typically=acceptance.

True story. American couple in Tokyo. White guy and Japanese wife. Wife asks a Japanese man for directions in Japanese. The man turns to the HUSBAND and says ‘no speak English’. And walks away.
