1) I have yet to see a "no foreigner" sign here in tokyo, red light districts included. (Could be because im not looking for them?)

2) No one is going to give you funny looks unless you're staring them down expecting one; or do something to deserve it.

3) Ive strolled outside late at night many times and have yet to encounter anything more dangerous than a drunk person wanting to conversate.

4) I'm not quite sure how a mugging could take place in such a crowded metropolitan, its quite rare to ever be alone on the Tokyo streets.

As far as racism, I dont think I have encountered any so far. Maybe a bit of discouragement when I ask if they know english for an explanation or important topic I would feel more using my native tounge.

Everyone has their own image of Japan if they have never visited before. I myself had a few expectations upon my arrival, but its just logic; Japanese people are no different than any other populous in the world, they're just living their lives. The country isnt there to make your dreams come true. That goes to all the fanatic school kids on this forum with the "I want to live in Japan" mentality. Japan is Not an anime, dont expect it to be.
