Any of the reason listed by others are probable, but have you thought that they might wish to practice their English too? Tokyo has a lot of foreigners, so its possible the people their might be more familiar learning and speaking it, and therefore wish to practice. In other areas you might have less of a problem, but I really couldn't say. I know my host mother was very anxious to talk to me and practice her English, for she said so herself.
