Is street photography frowned upon i Japan?

I've done something similar when i was in japan. Generally, people are ok with you taking pictures, some of them will even pose for you (of course thats not what you want judging from your style)... Some girls may turn around and hide from you if they notice you taking pictures of them...... I also had some trouble because I almost took pictures of someone thats part of a FAMILY...
