Unfortunately things won't change anytime soon...

People would get scared but if you are non-Asian looking, people would be easy on you but still you would be rejected from public bath, hot springs, and pools.

That's just how it is and if you have someone Japanese in your family, he/she should have taught you how tattoos are viewed in Japan.

I see some people with tattoos not irezumi (word in Japanese that is often differentiated from tattoo) but I don't get them anyways cos having a small tattoo would limit your options.

For the businesses, it's bad to accept you cos if they do, that means now Yakuzas would claim that they should be allowed as well and it's gonna be chaotic as you can imagine.
