This, OP. Take a semester or two in Glorious Nippon and experience daily life beforehand. Taking an extended visit before straight up moving is just sound advice regarding any country in the world, really. Bearing in mind that you'll be treated much better by the locals for being a visitor than for being an immigrant. What kind of xenophobia you experience really depends on a number of factors, such as your ethnicity/nationality, where in Japan you go, and what you try to do in Japan. So while going to a strip club will be totally out of the question, food shopping shouldn't be too big a deal. And you may even make some friends who can help get you settled in if you do decide in the end to move to Japan.
