I've lived in Japan for two years, been back several times since, and traveled extensively within the country -- and I've never seen any such sign, nor asked to leave any business because I was a foreigner.
- tjpnz 4y agoI've been here seven years. Can't say I've seen it either. The server industry has been nothing but hospitable.
- xyzzy_plugh 4y agoThey're less and less common but they very much still exist, especially small bars. I haven't encountered any outside of Tokyo though.
- woutr_be 4y agoI didn’t see a sign at the time, but I’ve been asked to leave after the server confirmed we couldn’t read Japanese. Honestly didn’t think much of it, just assumed it was because the menu was only in Japanese.
