Sad fact is, the above comments are right - 'otaku' are just as looked down upon in Japan as in the West. Unless you already know people out there or are planning on hitting up a convention or doujinshi fair, it will probably be hard to find 'fandom' friends. It's seen as an incredibly nerdy passtime if you take it beyond just reading manga on the train or watching the latest big name anime series.
That said, going round Animate and finding manga and DVDs and CDs of things that are usually so difficult to find is a bit of a thrill (totally check out K Books too! Masses of merchandise to be found!), and don't be afraid to talk to someone if you see them looking at merchandise for a show/manga/etc. that you like. Foreigners are often looked at as a bit of a novelty and so you're bound to meet someone who's happy to talk fandom to you.
Do go and do non-fandom things as well though! There's so much more to Japan than just anime/manga/hot dancing tennis boys. It may not be the ideal you've made it out to be, but as long as you're realistic with your expectations it can be an incredibly fun place.

Even if it's not what you were expecting, have fun, anon!
