Japan isn't Sweden.

It's culture is homogenous and peculiar in a way that few other places even get close to. It's going to be a hard thing for Japan to open it's doors to all the filthy heathens. It's easy to say that all they have to do is open their doors to immigration but even countries like the U.S. that were founded on immigration have a hard time operating in their own interest with a sane and beneficial immigration policy.

It's easy and flip and say, "open up the doors," but pretty hard to do when a massive influx of foreigners will massively disrupt a society that's been humming along to it's own tune for most of human history.
