I haven’t been living in Japan that long, but I thought the Fuji cult people were just bothersome in Tokyo.
I live in the suburbs in Aichi and they just came to my apartment building. My door was propped open for my cat so when they called out I answered the door, and they just started by asking about my cat. Then they showed the pic of Fuji and I tried to be polite with a 結構です and they started to say how I shouldn’t believe the bad things people say about them on the internet lol. I just closed and locked the door.
However they’d visited a friend before me who didn’t know about the cult, and they offered to drive them to Nagoya to do to a temple service (!!!). Thankfully they said no, but who knows how that would have gone.

I used to live in the university dorm of Toyama University, and once they came to my door. So yeah, it’s not Tokyo only.
I hope they don’t come to Nagoya. Thanks for the heads up
Some cult left a pamphlet in my mailbox the other day.. I don’t remember the name but it was like “happy sunshine” or something like that.
Saw the 2 old ladies coming up my driveway in the heavy rain through my security cameras, but luckily they didn’t ring the the doorbell.
Man, Japan is full of cults, back in my home country we had the Jehovas bothering us from time to time but that was it.
They might be a bit more desperate now because of the whole moonies shenanigans
There’s a different cult a few streets over from me so I think they don’t knock because of turf war lol
ive had 3 of them come to my door in a span of a month. they are so damn annoying had a full conversation the first time and i tried to reason with them was a complete waste of a solid hour. two other times just said “nihonngou moni masen dakara ” and shut the door
