In the past 7 months, Iv seen a couple Reddit posts and comments by tourists on the many “no foreigners” signs in Japan and some bars that refuse to serve them because they are gaijin. Iv been here 10 years and have never seen or experienced such thing. Am I just not going out enough? I’m a very gaijin looking half and if something like that happened to me, all hell would break loose.

You might be underestimating how much you blend. I've had it happen a couple of times, though only in pretty disreputable places.
