[quote=Anonymous]I"ve been to Japan many times, and in many cities. There is a huge amount of xenophobia. Being white and male, I largely benefited from this -- I got free entry into some clubs while my Japanese colleagues did not, because I made the place look "cool". But there are plenty of establishments which have signs like "Japanese only" and they simply won't let you enter if you are not Japanese. It kind of reminded me of the "whites only" signs they used to have in the US. I do have American friends living in Japan. You'll always be an outsider there, even if you integrate and speak the language. You're not Japanese. But... if safety is your concern, Japan is indeed ultra-safe. [/quote]
