I think Japan is totally awesome, and I've found lots of good toy shops in the Tokyo area. They are a bit tough to find, but with some research and Google Maps there are a bunch out there. Oh, and I have never felt the least bit threatened when walking around in Japan on my own, everyone seems pretty cool. But there is a lot of xenophobia in Japan (but not to the point of violence, and it's much less so for English speaking Caucasians compared to other nationalities or races IMO) and there are probably a few types of businesses that wouldn't allow gaijin customers, but those are rare.
