I have spent a few years in Japan and the only places (and I can count them on one hand) that didn't allow foreigners were "massage parlors". I have never heard of a hotel that doesn't allow foreigners, unless maybe it was a "love hotel"
I always respect your opinions Sangetsu, but I don't want people to get the wrong impression.
Visible and stretched piercings are fine for tourists, but you are going to have a hard time finding work. A bar or nightclub will be no problem, probably, but the problem will be your work visa. A bar owner has no need or desire to go through the headaches and redtape (and likely denial) of hiring a foreigner to tend his bar. Most foreign bartenders have "day jobs". (I did. And where I worked no body modification was allowed, including hair-dying.)
