90%+ of signs like that are on cabaret clubs, bikini bars, lingerie pubs, pink salons, or anywhere where men pay a lot of money to be "serviced" by women. This can be from drinks and conversation to very special massages.

The other 10% probably come from the nomihoudai places where they don't want to be run out of business by foreigners paying 2000 yen then drinking 20000 yen worth of drinks

Racism is everywhere in every country. It doesn't mean the majority of people are racist. The majority of people in Japan either welcome foreigners or don't care one way or another. I almost never come across it! I get the occasional person who gets up as soon as I sit down but it's always some dour looking housewife that is scared that the sky is going to fall on her head & so I pay it no heed! Most people I encounter are very friendly & helpful. More so than many other countries I've been to.

Well we're all a bit prejudice, and racist deep down. You say that you aren't but who isn't hypocritical.

I have never felt more welcomed by a people then here in Japan, sure there are those that have opinions about Americans being here, but I have recieved nothing but kindness and fun. I love Japan. I would just love to learn more of the language as I feel like a jerk not speaking properly.

Japan is just like every other country, there are racists there. But from what i've seen, japanese people are really polite to foreigners. when kelly osbourne went to japan she was treated nicely
