Couldn't this possibly be unconstitutional? In Article 14 (I don't have my Japanese copy at hand):
>All of the people are equal under the law and there shall be no discrimination in political, economic or social relations because of race, creed, sex, social status or family origin.
That said, this only applies to citizens only, and you did mention the renting agent noticed you are an American.
Horrible behaviour nevertheless.
