I've only been to Japan once, but immigration for me (a white male Brit) was no different to Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore etc, just a smile and a stamp. Israel is the only real place I've had more than a "purpose of visit" (although getting in is still far easier than getting out). I went to the states last week to see some colleagues for the first time since 2019 - had to really bit me tongue not to say "Christmas Parties" instead of "Business Meetings", got prodded for a little more info from JFK immigration (a "Law Enforcement professional" from the "Washington DC area" also checked my profile on linked in after I applied for my ESTA)
