They may not really like you but you won't notice it unless you live there for awhile. The Japanese is polite to anyone and everyone so it kind of masks whatever they are thinking. Generally the younger generation and the more educated are more accepting of foreigners.
Anyway Japan at least is better in terms of xenophobia than a lot of other countries. I browse some Chinese internet forums sometimes and damn I feel ashamed at some of the stuff people post... An example would be black entertainers. Japan has a couple that are fairly well established. There was this half black girl in Shanghai who was in this tv talent show and she got ripped so hard on some forums. Makes me sad at how intolerant some people are.
