I have. I've been to Tokyo. When I said you can find people of every ethnicity, I meant I encountered people of every ethnicity.

1 in 10 residents of Tokyo are foreign nationals[1]. https://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXMZO32872510R10C18A7EA2000/

1 in 10 people in their twenties. (Still more than I expected.)

The situation is very very different outside of a few big cities. We spent a few days in Izumo and in the area around it and we hardly saw any non Japanese at the turrist spots, let alone any locals.
