It’s a mix. I’m general if you respect their customs and the way of life, people in general will treat you well. Even if someone doesn’t like you they will try to treat you well, since Japan is supposed to be a polite society and treating others poorly also reflects poorly on an individual. That being said, it does come with it's own share of “foreigners not allowed or welcome” experiences. There’s also racial undertones to those experiences, where some set of people will have worse experience than others.
