I am not sure what the "other countries" are. Do you mean the world's few immgration countries like the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand ? We could also add the UK, France and Germany, but like Japan, they had little experience of big scale immigartion until the 1950's. Many European countries (esp. in Easten and Northern Europe) still have no experience of mass immigration. Middle-Eastern countries, India, etc. have very few foreigners too (whatever they genetic make-up, as no country is really "ethnically pure"). Japan is actually the norm rather than the exception. The USA is the world's biggest exception in term of immigration.
