Is Japan gay friendly country?

Hi! I am invited to go to Japan next month and I am preparing for that trip now. I am a gay and not sure about the Japanese people habits. Are they gay friendly? Are there some experiences? I need to hear from someone who was there recently! Please, tell me all you think I should know before I go there.

Japan is nice modern country and there are no differences between people, especially in capitol city Tokyo. I was there three months ago I it was my best experience. You should know there is a part of Tokyo called Ni-Chome where best and most beautiful gay places are located. There are nice pubs, restaurants, cafes…
