You will stick out. You will stick out like a sore thumb. You would stick out like a sore thumb if you were size 0 and 5'3", and probably still if you were an American-born ethnic Japanese that was size 0 and 5'3"; there's a bunch of indescribable stuff about carriage and posture and fashion sense and when eye contact is/isn't appropriate that...

is this hyberbole or are you talking about rural areas or something? i havent been to Japan but i was under the impression that it had several large cities where enough non-Japanese people live and work that the sight of a foreigner was not particularly notable

personally ive still not even learned how to deal correctly with eye contact in my own culture, let alone when travelling
