    Question, how is racism towards tourists there (or in general)? Caucasian, Asian, African, etc.?

    I’ve heard places like Japan is Super bad and a very close minded people towards pretty much anyone not Japanese. They just deal with tourist basically

      As far as I have seen, tourists are never discriminated based om their race. Women safety is a separate issue, though.

      Again, I haven’t travelled a lot, so my experiences may differ from others.

        Women’s safety, could you explain why that’d be a bit more? Just from your experience, even if it isn’t the whole of the region/country

          Personally, I have never witnessed any such thing, but people on the internet consider India to not to be a safe country for female tourists. I have seen some videos online, of some people harassing or touching female foreigners.

          But if you ask me, as long as you are in a public place, a decent city, or always keep a trustwortmale friend with you, you’ll be fine.
