The Japanese government and culture hates foreigner. Unless you or your parents have Japanese citizenship, you're going to have a hard time.

My experience as a tourist with Japanese friends...

Foreigners (like me) have a chip on our shoulders. That whole attitude of "Well guess they don't want my money" isn't really big there. Outside of Tokyo, foreigners get kicked out of places all the time. Often it's done politely to avoid embarrassment.

And a foreigner swinging around cash going, "Why can't I buy this" will quickly get a polite "It is not our way as Japanese", which really means "fuck off".

Yeah, it's probably the sense of entitlement. Be respectful and you won't have issues.
