Yeah it’s unfortunate. I actually think in some cases, Japanese folks in their mind are actually trying to be nice as they think they won’t provide you a good experience without English, but it’s counterintuitive. These cultural slip ups happen often in a 90%+ ethnically homogeneous country.

agree. Also for the most part those are limited to a few spots in Tokyo/Kyoto. I don't remember seeing a "no foreigner" sign anywhere else, like shikoku, kyushu, tohoku, etc. (tho ofc there's not as many foreigners traveling in the countryside)

Yeah, I think that's largely because they have fewer tourists. Kyoto is notorious and has been getting stricter. Even within Japan, they are known for wanting to protect their culture. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/kyoto-implementing-more-rules-tourists-215114775.html
