Basically, you balance out the immigrants by requiring a percentage of them to be Japanese lol.

Tokyo, despite its massively dense population, is by far the cleanest city I've ever visited. I recall seeing graffiti once. On a fence. A very short fence. On top of that, most locals are so friendly and polite. If you walk around with a tour book, almost guaranteed if someone speaks English, they will stop and ask if you need help.

Actually I got lost in a small town called Nikko while looking for a hotel. I walked into another hotel to grab a map from the concierge there. Not only did he provide me with a map, he walked me down about 5-6 blocks in the right direction. Soon after, a man in a car pulled up behind me to point out the rest of the way.

Japan rocks!
