I think just because there aren't a lot of white guys in Japan doesn't necessarily make them "just hot".

For men attraction is more simple. I know Japanese women that were told at a young age to avoid foreigners or avoid black man as potential partners. It's like telling a boy to avoid weed and alcohol. There will be those that are excited by forbidden fruit.

Foreign men can also represent the potential to get out of Japan, which for a certain faction of women is an attractive proposition.
