May I ask you, what is acceptable to you? And what do you personally include into the "Japanese Culture" synonymous?
I can probably answer this, solely as I went back and read the opening post . . . I think he defines culture as history, ettiquette, social customs etc. and what isn't 'culture' is basically an image created solely by manga, anime, films. If you've only ever watched Naruto and Battle Royale then you have no idea of Japanese culture, (not aimed at you personally) and thus it wouldn't be a legit reason to go and would be a mere excuse. I doubt anyone would disagree to this, unless they themselves were naive and rather obssessed with this false 'culture'.
