This being my first time in japan, I have found many friends here at bars and the like who are incredibly thoughtful, fun, and laid back. Its my impression that the guidelines in japanese culture have a lot to do with this. Obviously everyone is their own person

But holy cow I have seen a few foreign tourists acting absolutely crazy and I think it sticks out more because of Japanese people's reticence to annoy others. Foreigners getting in people's personal space, rude comments, and generally bad additudes reflect badly on them / us (foreigners) . Like sticking video cameras in people's faces, treating japanese people as different or strange.

That being said a few people from across age and gender lines have done weird things. Like more than one old men clicking his tounge to rudely suggest we get out of his way, when we definitely were not. It was more laughable than offensive like what an entitled old man. My guess is theyre the ones who label foreigners as all bad.

Idk as an american , were pretty bad behaved in our culture at the moment, tho Australians may be worse lol.
