When I traveled to Tokyo, I met a decent amount gaijin at the major tourist attractions and bars/clubs in places like Roppongi, but didn't see many outside of Tokyo/Kyoto. NOWHERE did they even come close to outnumbering Japanese people -- even at an American jazz bar and a British soccer bar...
And I must point out a major observation. People who are only into Japan for the anime, manga, JPop, cosplay, etc... in my experience, they will RARELY ever make it to Japan, and if so, only for a short visit to Tokyo. Those (like myself) who are genuinely interested in the culture OUTSIDE of video games and playing dress up are far more likely to visit, and especially to LIVE in Japan... Just thought I would point that out...
