TLDR: my childish dad made a big scene in Japan and showed me his immaturity. I don’t want to spend rest of time in Japan with him but unsure what to do. Do things alone(without mom and dad I’m 18)? Book flight home? Need advice

I’m in Japan with my mom and dad. Little backstory my dad is Chinese so he hates Japanese people. Before going on this trip I was very worried because he’s always upset and can never handle his emotions. Today we went to Chanel store in Japan, which the guy outside told us we need to wait at the store 12pm tommorow to get a reservation. Looking online, apparently foreigners need a reservation while locals can just enter. It’s definitely discriminatory but fine it’s unfortunate but what can be done. However, my dad started getting upset, and started swearing and everything making a scene in public. We decide to leave but my dad gets furious and starts wanting to go back and talk. I tell him to stop and just move on. He keeps swearing and making a scene and then decides to go up to the guy and press him about why we can’t enter. I pulled him back and I literally had to grab his bag and tell him to stop and move on. I told him to not make a scene out of this. He yells at me that he’s not making a scene. Bunch of swear words here and there and by this point everyone around is looking at us. He starts taking how they’re racist because we’re Chinese and that how come other ppl can just enter. I agree that it’s messed up but nothing we can do about it. He then gets furious and wants to head back again and I tell him to grow up. That he’s the dad and right now I’m taking care of him. This isn’t the first time this has happened he always gets furious at something then never admits that he is the problem. He’s trying to head back and I have to push him back to stop him from going, in which he starts swearing and swearing. I cannot believe that he is my dad and I feel embarrassed to be related to him because he’s everything I don’t want in a dad. I feel incredibly frustrated because I wanted a good vacation but the past 2 days, all his negative comments and remarks about Japan is making the trip gruelsome. I’m unsure what to do now. I want to have a good vacation but I can not stand being around him. I’m going to college in less than a month so it’s not like I’ll see him much either. I was thinking of booking a flight back home myself because I really cannot stand him. My mom would probably be willing to let me buy the ticket. I’m just unsure what to do because he never admits his actions were too much and I’m really frustrated with him. But I also had so much fun stuff planned to do, but I just don’t want to do any of it with him. Is solo tripping a good idea? I’m 18 have like $800 and I think my mom would probably be willing to fund me. I need advice idk what to
