This is why the OP is being successful in his facade.
NO ONE gets stares at in Tokyo. You could have two heads, and people will walk past you without a second look. It is similar in that way to New York, London, Hong Kong, etc. It more than the population density of foreigners, but life in a massively huge city.
You can say Tokyo isn't international if you want, but that seems pretty naive to me. How many media outlets, major corporations, fashion designers, etc. have offices in Tokyo? Hell, my podunk home state of Oregon has tourist and business offices in Tokyo. So only 300,000 foreigners, 100,000 of which are Westerners live in Tokyo...that's a pretty significant amount, if your numbers are correct.
