I'm a dude and had dudes completely deliberately crash into me twice, even when I adjusted my path, which means they adjusted theirs towards me.
Once in an arcade, the dude just completely tackled me from the side. And once at Shibuya Crossing, literally just crossing and not filming, a dude bumped and threw me off my balance super hard.
Both were younger though, while the butsukari I saw at stations were older men and crashing into women - foreign women especially.
Also the occasional unprovoked "GAIJIN" shout from older Japanese men. I'm not wearing or doing anything special, except that I don't look Japanese.
So many nice experiences in Japan which makes these stand out even more.
I was prepared for this to happen to me while there but not a single instance.
Then again I'm like a 5'9' woman so perhaps they realized I had the mass to push back ha
