You find that in countries that have such a homogeneous population. The Hermit Kingdom didn't get that name for nothing. They were completely isolated until 100 years ago -- and their experiences with foreigners hasn't been all that positive (Japan, China, etc.).
The younger generation is much more open, but prejudice is still really deep against anything foreign. Its not just xenophobia, but a sense of "racial purity" which is also quite deep in Japan as well.
