An Indian tourist named Anant claims he faced racist treatment at a 7-Eleven store in Shizuoka, Japan. The incident, captured in an Instagram video, occurred on his last day in the country when he asked a staff member to reheat his meal.

He claims the police arrived later, reviewed the video, and reprimanded the store manager. Anant was treated with respect and received an apology from the officers. The incident sparked discussions on social media regarding the treatment of foreign tourists in Japan.
