Yeah, there are some folks in Japan that aren't big on foreigners, homogenous country and all. I've lived there for 10 years and IMO it's gotten a LOT better over that time, but a lot of folks in the countryside/burbs have never even met a non-Japanese, so they might have some negative views that have never been challenged.

On the other hand, I've met Japanese folks who are THRILLED to talk to a foreigner about something they both like. I've seen the whole spectrum, really.

Also keep in mind that the salty folk are a LOT more vocal online in general, so we're more likely to see negative comments compared to positive. Don't worry too much. :\
