Japan doesn't stick their nose in other countries' business like the US and the European countries do either.
While not entirely accurate it is a factor. The west is reaping what was sown in the past. The ongoing involvement in ME affairs and the persecution of the Muslim people are what is causing this.
Of course it's hard for the western world to admit this for some reason.

Maybe not since the United States dropped 2 atomic bombs on them and re-wrote their form of government but your statement is incorrect. History is important to know. Here's a 10 minute video but you can research deeper on your own.
Japan is the only major industrialized country that has never experienced an Islamic terrorist attack. The reason for this is simple... It's VERY difficult to immigrate to Japan and the Muslim population there is practically non-existent. In fact, Japan openly opposes Muslim immigration. It's interesting to point out there are more mosques in New York City than there are in the entire country of Japan. Are all Japanese people racists? Of course not, but they do understand that Islam is a threat to their safety and security.
America could learn a lot from Japan. All this politically correct talk about how "Islam is not the problem" is simply not true. Countries that have large Muslim populations experience terrorism at a rate that eclipses countries with fewer Muslims. It's not racist to say that Muslims commit acts of terror at higher rates than any other religious group on Earth. Even in predominantly Muslim countries, terrorism is a regular occurrence.
I'm watching the news this morning about the attack in London and all the commenters are repeating the same tired PC lines about how Islam is not the problem. That's just horse dung. Can you imagine the UK having an open immigration policy with Germany during WWII? Of course not. Was banning German immigrants racist? Of course not. It was a practical response to a radical ideology that threatened their security. Any ideology that openly promotes violence against Democracy, Judaism, Christianity, Civil Society, etc... should be opposed and we absolutely shouldn't be allowing people who adhere to those beliefs into our country. We need to stop denying reality because it might hurt someones feelings.
One last point, all these people talking about how being more accepting and tolerant of Islam will help prevent the radicals from recruiting new idiots must remember one thing... Londoners recently elected the first Muslim mayor of any major Western City, yet terrorism is becoming a near-daily occurrence there.
If I remember this correctly, Japan’s constitution clearly guarantees freedom of religion to everyone (in article 20). No one, including the government, can discriminate people based on their religion. On the other hand, no one can force someone to convert to any religion.
Some companies hire people from all over the world, so they often help obtaining working visas for them. Some are Muslims, but they never got rejected because of their religions, neither implicitly nor explicitly.
Becoming a Japanese citizen is a different story: It’s difficult not only for Muslims but for everyone.
It’s not the Japanese government does not provide immigration permits to Muslims.
It’s that the Japanese government does not provide asylum for refugees.

Japan, caters to it's national traditions, way above and beyond any religion or political ideology.
Muslims don't go there, because the Japanese, don't let them slide, with their regressive traditions, like we and especially Europe does.
Muslims find it really hard to practice Islam, in Japan.
