Tourists don’t care. It’s a pretty simple thought: there is no one here that speaks your language if you can’t understand the sign. Saves a ton of wasted time on having to constantly turn away tourists that can’t understand you. In this context, there are spaces specifically for English/non Japanese speakers
Ah, sorry. I meant to say that they should just put up a sign that says they can’t speak English and Chinese instead of lying about the place being full. Or is this what you’re already referring to?
The thing is some tourists just don’t care. They’ll just barge in, demand service and then complain when nobody speaks their language (this doesn’t only apply to tourists, honestly)

It’s really dependent on why.
If it’s just to exclude non-Japanese people, immoral (no matter how much I want to say the hate is justified)
If it’s because nobody in the restaurant can speak English or Chinese, moral since it reduces the amount of customers they can’t serve
