Just out of curiosity, what do they think of foreigners? I have read many comments coming from different sites, that they hate us and think we are a bother. Another says that they love foreigners.

So what do they really think of us Foreigners?

I'm not Japanese but I would think it's a bit of both. That tends to be the trend in most place I think. Some people enjoy or don't mind foreigners, others hate and despise foreigners.

The japanese people is just as xenophobic as the rest of the world. I hope one day everyone is able to hold each other's hands no matter what race in the name of our lord.

They don't really care too much. Naturally, they probably won't be able to get along as well with foreigners than their own kind, since there is a lot of culture that is shared among them (social etiquette, mannerisms, language, customs, etc). Same as with pretty much any other homogenous country. I heard Japanese sluts like foreigners though because they spend money on them. Don't be that gaijin that's taken advantage of. And don't be Davido-kun, either.

You speak truth.

Also you forgot to add that you have to be careful of some Japanese pretending to be your friends, their are just using you for English lessons!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meh usually I would just say I speak Zulu, so I wouldn't have to waste my time.

Is it just that it's gets annoying having them ask you questions all the time? Or is it blatantly obvious that they're just using you?

Perhaps when they think of any other country they say: "Oh those people". Which means we are not one of them. Works the other way around too.

Behold of my awesomeness~

They hate Americans in particular, partly because of WWII and partly because Americans are often vulgar morons. The way they portray Americans in anime is hilarious but sometimes facepalm worthy, and is likely partly a reaction to how Japanese are portrayed as spastic and perverted by a few Western cartoons and the like (and not entirely inaccurately).

depends on the person, but basically that they'll never be able to understand japanese culture. for the most part, they're probably right.

That depends...

You can't really say an entire group of people approves or disapproves of people who they are not like, pretty sure there's a good amount of both in that solution set. Though personally, the ones I've met IRL are very accepting of foreigners, in fact, they're probably just a tad more outgoing in another country than I'd imagine them to be in Japan.

They hate koreans with a passion. Probably a bit mixed on westerners. There are some "Japanese only" places like restaurants too i recently heard from someone in japan.

I have always heard that if you are a foreigner a lot of the older folk will hate you just for being white, but that younger people in the country are more accepting towards foreigners , but this could be completely wrong. I would imagine they would not hate you if you were respectful to their ideals and culture and aren't an obnoxious tourist.

Any truth to this @MechaKiryu?

I have generally heard that older folk will usually hate you, especially in areas outside of the largest cities. I have also heard that younger people in the country are more accepting and welcoming to foreigners, as long as said foreigners aren't obnoxious as all hell and respect Japanese culture and way of life (morals / values).
