If you've been studying Japanese for a while you probably think you know what's coming. Being in the same situation myself a long time ago, I can assure you that reality will look quite different from your preconceptions, in all sorts of weird but wonderful ways

Do you have somebody meeting you in Tokyo? Getting around can be a little overwhelming for the first time visitor, especially if severely jetlagged and dragging around suitcases, so you might wish to post your first night's destination -- some enterprising FTer will be sure to map out the optimal route down to where to stand on the train platform.

Last but not least, two links:
