My brother lived in Japan for 8 years. He talked often about how wonderful and pleasant the country and people were. As a reader of military history and familiar with Japanese atrocity's and treatment of “others” I finally told him they are nice now because we forced them to be nice, anything wonderful about them now is do to being Americanized. He did not appreciate that.

My late Father who fought Japan in WWII was an eyewitness to it.
