However, stating that ALL the japanese have an inferiority complex (which I doubt), would be dumb. That is why I ask, some blogs claim that foreigners are sometimes treated like celebrities, others say the contrary happens. However, since I have never been there, I can't really know.

That is the information this blog claims, it's in spanish, sorry. |
The era of foreigners being treated like celebrities is over, unless maybe you go to the most remote villages.
People often confuse Japanese humility with some kind of inferiority complex. These same people sound like braggarts in Japan when they talk about how smart their children are and how many countries they have been to.
