I hear from friends who are not Japanese / Asian who work there a lot that Japanese are generally quite xenophobe; is that true generally or in certain regions or?

Yes, Japan has a long history of mutual xenophobia with China and other countries around southeast asia. I'm not sure if you were referring to that or xenophobia of westerners though, which I've also heard about. Despite that however, it seems like a great place to live.

They were referring to westerners as they are those and feel discriminated against in mostly subtle but sometimes not so subtle ways.
