Moving to a different culture and adapting to it is a great way of shaking up your brain.
Moving between very different cultures is a challenge, but the rewards are accordingly nicer, but it really sucks when the new culture doesn’t welcome and integrate you into it.

I think it's possible to open up without swinging the doors wide open like we have in the UK. There's also the argument that on Japan's current course, there won't be much culture left in a century due to population decline. Japan needs to very quickly correct course without completely submitting to cultural replacement.
