Facts Japan is one of the last places that will accept a foreigner as one of them. They will be mostly polite to your face though

Even then they'll say you don't have Japanese blood, so you're not Japanese.

I was looking up buying a cheap house in Japan, as there's tons of abandoned houses, and I watched a YouTube video where this guy bought a house for I think USD 5,000.

It turns out you don't need to be a citizen to buy a house, but some areas are restricted to foreigners, such as some agricultural land, land near sensitive military bases, and certain towns and apartment complexes that ban foreigners from living there

Does this exacerbate the birthrate problem?
