Fuzoku establishments are pretty strict on who they allow in. Even westerners who speak perfect Japanese are turned down. Maybe it's their perception of foreigners or maybe it's something passed down from the elders. Not sure...

Many places will have a sign at the entrance which clearly states "Japanese clients only".

If in doubt, you can always visit the local annaijyo (information booth) at a red light district. I even asked a police officer at a koban for directions once.
