Ambassador Griscom has researched the Japanese law and customs in reference to foreigners living in Japan. The only important restriction on foreigners living in Japan is that they are denied the “right to own land in fee simple.” Foreigners are well treated and as far as Griscom is aware, there has not been a case where a foreigner has been denied justice in the Japanese Courts. While there is some amount of anti-foreign sentiment, the Japanese Government is quick to suppress such feelings when it is within their power to do so.
