There may be a few bars you'll go to where you may be refused entry, or they'll talk very loudly and in very racist ways about you, while you're sitting there (not that you'd know if you don't speak Japanese).
I'm a fatty and I live in Japan. I wouldn't say people treat me poorly because of it. They stare a lot, but fuck, I'd stare a lot too. It's not that there aren't fatty Jappos -- there are, and there's more every year -- but the mix of fatty + roundeye = "wow that's weird, i've never seen that, let's stare some more, how is that possible, I don't understand".
Some ryokan and onsen will refuse you entry as well, because you are foreign, and do not understand the rules, and they don't want to bother trying.
