Japan is about as xenophobic as any other country, if you come back seeing the country as racist, it's because you went there with a Japan is a paradise mentality.
If you're nervous, are polite and give a crap about the people there, know it can be difficult but want to tough it out anyway, you'll love it, because it'll pleasantly surprise you.
Basically, go to Japan thinking it's a paradise, you'll hate it. Go to Japan thinking it'll be tough as hell, it'll feel like paradise.
As for daily life, if you truly look forward to experiencing Japan, trek your own path.
I personally couldn't stand the big cities like Tokyo and enjoyed more rural/suburban places like Nara and Hanamaki better. But then again I'm a guy from Arkansas.
