I'm pretty sure there are many non-Japanese who're attracted to Japanese primarily because of their homogeneity.

Korean men and Japanese women make up the biggest share of international marriages in Japan so there's something more going on here that makes Japanese women highly desirable to men in general.

~70% of int'l marriages in Japan are Japanese men + foreign brides.

Of the women marrying foreign husbands, 25.7% Korean, next is 16.7% American, then 12.5% Chinese.
