I'll start I love the entertament value in Japan even though i've never been there I know of it. So many videogames technology galore.

There are no racist cities in Japan. Being racist is unacceptable and of course is against basic civil rights guaranteed by Japanese and international law.

I guess there are some people in the countryside who have never even met a foreigner before who may be racist but I doubt it. Those people have never been raised to hate foreigners or anything.

Some Chinese and Koreans think that Japanese people are racist towards them because we fear them. We don't really have any feelings towards Chinese in China or Koreans in Korea but the Asian foreigners in Japan are a pretty scary group of people. There are many illegal immigrants from these countries and they cause a whole lot of trouble here. Also, Asian foreigners tend to be poorer than western immigrants/tourists and they congregate in large groups and cause crimes. They spread disease, bad moral habits, and trash places. These days there are apartment buildings and such that say that you cannot rent a room if you're a foreigner. This is because there is such a high percentage of Asian foreigners who don't pay rent and they cause commotion (which is against the law) and they trash the apartment before they run away. Not to mention they try to squeeze in about 10 people in a room only ment for 2 or 3 which is really bad hygeine. The no foreigners thing doesn't even apply if you have a certain amount of income. So basically it's all about selecting good investment over bad investment, something that's done in every capitalist nation. American choose their customers too, based on their income.

Night life sucks in Japan if you're under 18. There are laws that prohibit children under the age of 18 from going to public places. By law they are required to go home. Also teachers make rounds at places where children tend to go to try to make them go home.

Crime rate in Japan is pretty low. There are kobans everywhere. Koban is a Japanese mini-police station. Usually there's about 3 or 4 police officers at a koban and they make rounds around the vicinity. They help people who need directions or lost their wallet or bike or something. Just the presents of a koban usually stops criminals from wanting to commit a crime because of the fear factor. Sadly foreign criminals do not fear kobans at all so they are ineffective in places like Kabukicho or Shibuya where there is a high percentage of foreigners.

Another bad part of Japan: Yoshinoya stopped selling gyudon because of BSE. Japan went psycho after American beef got BSE. No sane person in Japan will eat beef that comes America. Aussie beef, although the taste is not as good, has become the top choice for beef. Now, if you want to eat beef in Japan, you have to settle with crappy Aussie beef. Yoshinoya refuses to use Auzzie beef and just got rid of all the beef containing stuff on their menu. Also food portions in Japan are miniscule. I was raised mostly in the States so I am used to American food portions which is much larger than every country in the world but even to European standards, Japanese portions are small. A big mac in Japan would take only five bites to each for most Americans. Steaks in Japan cost about $100 or most of the time double that but the size is one quarter the size of an American steak. But Japanese beef is known as the best beef in the world so the pricing is SOMEWHAT reasonable.

I remember reading an article some time ago, the among criminal activities in Japan, about 97% are conducted by Japanese themselves.

What disease? People usually spread diseases around unless the country or the environment are qualified to nourish diseases.

I don't know about others. But Chinese people are usually educated with Confucious philosophy.

Thanks for the info now I know what to look for when I get there a while from now.

Correct. Actually it may be off by a few. However it is still above 93% I am sure.



No he is right. The majority of the chinese that commit crimes in japan were criminals to begin with. In many cases they had the intention on visiting japan just for criminal reasons. So in truth they had no morals to begin with.

If they were criminals in the first place, then I'd have nothing to say. I thought bakerintokyo was directing toward Chinese immigrants.

They are right. The major media view of Chinese people in Tokyo are the riffraff that go there illegally to cause trouble. So much trouble to the point that even the Yakuza have yielded a few areas to them. They never focus on the hard working legal immigrants who are proprietors or workers for respectable corporations.

Its actually better in the country. I know I've brought this up many times but in Morioka, almost all of the foreigners that are there go there for agricultural, industrial or research purposes and tend to leave a positive impression on the locals.
