Got Thrown Out of 5 Bars in Kyoto, Had a Terrible Dinner, and Visited the Best Castle in Japan | Ep5
⛩️ Today, we visit the best preserved medieval castle in all of Japan, get denied entry to five pubs in a row in Kyoto, and have dinner at the worst restaurant in Japan!
On this trip, see Japan through my eyes as I experience the best of its food, drink, attractions, beauty, and culture for the very first time!

I don't blame them. I've been in pubs and bars in Tokyo where entitled foreigners trashed the place, we're being obnoxious and had no remorse whatsoever; and with Kyoto being even more old-fashioned, they are not going to think twice to go through trouble.
Thanks for highlighting that racism is still alive and well in Japan, I know where not to even bother to visit.
pro tip. less you, more everything else
I've been stopped from going into a bar once but they politely asked me if i spoke the language first (there was a group of locals there). I dont speak Japanese, so i told them not to worry and I left, went to another bar that didn't care and spent $150 there instead.
Its not racism as much as tribalism. They dont actively hate or discriminate based on race. They package "all non-Japanese" as "outsiders" and treat them differently. You could be a black, orange, white or green skinned. You'll be labelled as outsider and treated that way.
That aside, we're talking about a small percentage here. I've gone to many bars and locations in different major cities and out of 15-20 bars, 1 turned me away.
Also depends on how you present yourself (this is worldwide). When i go out I wear blazers, shirts and something better than a cheap pair of jeans. Some lounges and bars have dress codes. If you show up in a tshirt and jeans, and look like a tourist who flew economy and just got off the plane, then you can expect to not be allowed entry, or even if allowed entry, to not get treated as well as better dressed patrons. Presentation matters.
