Do they really treat foreigners that well? So finally some that does not look down on foreigners. As far as I know every place i've been to they look down on us |

As far as I know every place i've been to they look down on us If you're just going for a vacation, yes, you probably will not witness anything but kindness. If you plan on living in Japan or being there for an extended period of time, then most than likely you will see how xenophobic people can be. Although, Caucasians are probably more sensitive to this, because it's something they aren't use to =P But from my time in Japan, I can say I have never lived in another area where people were more polite or kind as a whole. Which really offset the few negative encounters. |

Anime Pilgrimage To be honest that's hardly going to happen :D First older women will not call you that,not that it can't happen, but it is mostly reserved for younger people :D And one more thing... Women and guys too, are not shy like in anime. Actually women there like to play with guys and not tell them immediately what they feel :D EDIT: http://punynari.wordpress.com/2010/10/03/clannad-anime-pilgrimage/ I had just seen this.... Damn I almost peed in my pants... I am selling one of my kidneys and going there immediately |

| Talking about anime pilgrimage, if there's one thing you need to do in Japan, it's going to Ghibli's studios, and go inside the catbus. I doesn't move, but imagine that feel when you'll be able to tell your friends, haloing with a subtle yet majestic aura, eyes gazing in the distance, a light breeze ruffling your hair: "I rode the catbus". |

| I am currently living in Hong Kong. In Hong Kong I do not have a single feeling of being discriminated or any of this kind. I realize that Hong Kong and Japan are both completely different countries. However, the reason I mention this is because I want to restate how important it is to know the local language. Hong Kong has been a British colony for a long time and English has been a main language here, however, it is barely spoken at all. People are shy to communicate in English and prefer talking Cantonese. It is really important to be able to communicate in their preferred language. You have the odd case that may wants to talk in English with you, but mostly to gain better English speaking skills. For example: when I go to my fiancée her family it is greatly appreciated if I try to talk Cantonese, at first I tried to talk in English with them -- which was one of my worst experiences ever. In my third university year I have been to Japan for my internship for a year. Without a doubt my time would have been way worse if it hadn't been for the sake of my Japanese. I was able to speak some basic Japanese, JLPT4, and people really appreciated that I did try to speak in their language. Even though I made tons of mistakes the people were friendly to communicate with me and help me. Likewise as in Hong Kong, I did not experience any discrimination towards me. What I experienced in both China and Japan is the hate they harbor for each other. Japanese people dislike Chinese people and it is the same the other way around, of course there are exceptions to the rule -- but this is the general way they think. There's also a lot of sexism in Japan, so be prepared for this. As this is definitely one of the things that you'll notice a lot. Just try to speak Japanese and I am sure you will enjoy your time. ;) BTW, Tokyo is absolutely amazing! However, if you have the chance you should definitely visit the countryside, it is beautiful. |

OP should give it a try.. Well, the burger is 300 yen which is about 3 times the price of a typical Family Mart burger though.. |
| try learning a bit of Japanese and learning about the kind of foods they have too. They have a HUGE variety of cuisine. Happy Traveling! |

| Well, maybe it's just a coincidence, but nearly 90% of westerners who move to Japan start going bald after barely a year of living there. I like my hair, so I'll stay where I am, and not go to Japan. |
