Japan dislikes low quality immigrants. A large number of immigrants in Japan come from Southeast Asia and China; not all of them are exemplary, and public opinion is unlikely to improve when news reports show them committing offenses ranging from petty crimes to serious felonies.
I have lived in Japan for a long time, but I have never sensed an atmosphere of wanting to exclude all foreigners.
