The foreign population in Japan is 1 %. Of this 1% are 90% Koreans, wich makes "gaijin" around 0.1% so the answer is no.
I have travelled everywhere in Japan and the only place ive seen alot of foreigners is Tokyo (specially Roppongi and Akihabara), Kyoto/Nara, at the floating gate and one or the other occasion. I have been travelling in the countryside or even big cities of the beaten track and didnt meet foreigners for many days.
Like stated before, many people think they want to live here, but like MMM said 99% will never do. Because Japan is not that kind of country wich:
Is like in anime
Makes it easy for people to immigrant
is 100% foreigner friendly
does have 100000 of Otakus on the streets
.....
I hope that helped to answer a bit more.
