They are going to be paying a lot of attention to you whether or not you are acting a fool so don't be worried about being rude all the time. But don't do something completely stupid like start making out on a crowded train or something. In a bar with a bunch of drunks and a mixed crowd of gaijin, maybe this is okay. I see it sometimes, but in public you definitely do not do PDA's.
I did see some public displays of affection in japan, but it didn't happen very often.
