As a recent tourist to Japan (and a fluent speaker/reader of Japanese, so I get both sides of the story), the "anti tourist mania" is ridiculously overhyped by the media. Yeah, there are a couple of overcrowded hotspots, but it's a country of over 100M people and the vast majority of them either couldn't care less or actively welcome the tourist revenue.
