How prevalent is racism in Japan?

Context:

I’m 23 years old, married. Both me and my spouse are college educated. She’s a teacher.

I have a computer science degree and have 2 years of sys admin experience.

Only thing I’m worried about is racism. I’m brown. I will 100% stick out like a sore thumb (tall, brown man.)

I can move practically anywhere in the US since we are so diverse and never worry (unless in the south, but even then not too bad) But my buddy who lives in Japan says they are way more openly racist then American counterparts, due to immigration policies that are really strict, they usually only see people from Asian descent live there.

So, how prevalent is it?

Thanks!
