Well, it's difficult to answer this question simply.
I think it depends on what you mean by "好きじゃない"。
Generally speaking, foreign visitors are politely welcomed in Japan. Also, there are many Japanese people who like to be friends with foreigners, as you can see on italki.
At the same time, Japanese society may not be so open to "outsiders", so it's quite difficult to become one of them for foreigners in Japan. Not only you need to speak Japanese, you are also required to assimilate with Japanese culture.
So, it really depends. It'd be interesting if you could share where & in what context you heard that.
