Message Simplified = Yes, they are shy in general for what ever reason when it comes to western looking people, and to answer the second part consider this: Most people feel more comfterable around familiarity. In addition most people would rather spend time around people with whom they do not feel shy around.
I also believe the majority of responces to your post are trying to say the following.
Do not go to Japan because:
-You want to go to a bar and meet Japanese People
-You think your popularity will increase 10x because you are the "New Guy" (and a foreigner at that... it never worked that way in highschool here either.)
Do go to Japan because:
-For what ever other reason you can think of that doesn't rely on you fitting in and communicating perfectly, body language and all.
aka.
-Job
-Family
-Fun
-Fortune Cookie told you you have a month to live and you always wanted to travel to japan
-What ever else...
*on a side note you guys were answering a completely different question than he/she asked. chiaki didnt ask if he/she should date a japanese person. chiaki asked if they were shy. Chiaki might be desperate or currious, but we don't know that.*
All in all, what I'm saying is, say that you go to japan and get a realy good job. You get to know a co-worker there or something. They might be open to what you have to say, but people in public places or people who don't know you will generaly avoid you because they don't want to speak english. So go there to do whatever just not for the sole purpose of dating a japanese person.
