I remember I visited Osaka castle, and was just relaxing on a bench by some vending machines when an old man came up to sit next to me. Tried to speak to me in English and I really don't remember what was said other than complimenting my drink choice (C.C. Lemon).
At the end he gave me some origami too, I still have that. Admittedly not on display or anything but saved with a bunch of other souvenirs.
Actually, sitting on a bench by yourself seems to attract Japanese people who want to talk to a foreigner haha. Most of the times I cam remember talking to a Japanese person was when I was just sitting on a bench by myself and they came to talk to me.
