50/50, with the recent example of Kyoto, the warranted xenophobia the Japanese naturally have may lead to a banning of foreigners except in certain areas or with guides essentially being kept on a leash.
They've always had some restrictions on foreigners and I've never had reason to blame them. Years ago in Japan you would occasionally find an apartment that doesn't rent to foreigners, or see a "JAPANESE ONLY" sign outside a bar. It was rare, but people explained to me that foreigners (at that time usually Russians) always got drunk and loud and caused a scene and they don't want to deal with them. My natural reaction was "Heh yeah, fuckers ruined it for everyone", not "DATS RAYCIST!"
I enjoy cannabis and I'm definitely not a left wing idiot. But that's also why for the 5 years I lived in Asia -- I didn't use any. Respect the country where you live -- it is a very simple thing that most westerners don't understand.
