Japan set Manchukuo and Inner Mongolia up as puppet states, not annexed directly as part of Japan, and their colonization schemes failed to make ethnic Japanese the majority in those areas. (They tried to import more Japanese to Korea too, but failed since Koreans still outnumbered them) but the Japanese were succesfuly in demographically changing Hokkiado, Kuriles, and South Sakhalin with Japanese majority and reducing Ainu to minority. The Japanese also never recognized the Ainu language and forced them to assimiliate, with no autonomous region. Japan in fact has no autonomous regions for either the Ainu or Okinawan native minorities, and their languages are not recognized and dying out, they mostly speak Japanese.
Japan is one of the most homogenous country. They don't get to be that way by being tolerance to other culture.
