Thanks,

. Yes, the capsule hotel was quite the experience, not bad for $26 a night in Shinjuku too

I'm possibly looking at going to Japan this summer, did you find it expensive to eat out and was it easy to navigate on the subway?
Thank you,
travelgirl88. The depreciation of the yen makes everything 20-25% cheaper than it was a year or two ago. Eating out was quite reasonable, plenty of cheap restaurants where you can eat for 600-800 yen. The sushi I got at Tsukiji was my most expensive meal at 3500 yen. I didn't visit any 'higher-end' restaurants though.
The subway wasn't too hard to navigate. I only had a little trouble sussing out the different JR lines and the subway system though, but nothing too difficult. E.g. you can get from Shinjuku to Shibuya on either the JR lines, or on the subway, but I never figured out what was best/easiest.
