I can't agree with all of the author's opinions, though I have lived in Japan for only three years and I don't live in Tokyo. For me the experience has been positive until now. I have met some of the kindest people in the world and I feel welcome in my university and in the research institute I did an internship at. Japanese society has some social quircks which are kind of unsettling for me as a foreigner, but those have not spoiled my stay here.
