Are you Japanese or any sort of asian? And how accommodating are the locals of people who don't speak much Japanese?
I am half-Japanese but I know verrrry little Japanese, and I've wanted to go to Japan for some time now to get in touch with my roots, but I've been nervous that since I look Japanese I would be expected to speak Japanese and would be ostracized by the locals for being such a Japanese noob (the only Japanese thing about me are my looks and love of ramen). I'm going to go soon regardless but I just want to know what to expect and how much to prepare
