No need to do anything. Most Japanese customers, accustomed to their godlike status as customers, ignore the staff, so a smile and a 'hello' will be taken well.
I greet customers with the traditional way. Some look happy to see a white man. lol I keep my thoughts to myself on the others, but my eyes do roll up. lol
