Japanese people think more simply"Why are you interested in Japan?"
They are less interested in why he/she left their country of origin.
I don't think many Japanese think of America, Canada, or Europe as more interesting and exciting than Japan.
Some might think that or say that.But foreign students from asian countries also are asked the same question.
Official answer: history,literature.
Ｒeal intention: anime,manga,game.

Jero,a famous enka singer,once said　that he was asked more than thousand times that why he came to Japan and why he got interested in enka. No one cares why he left US.
