Hey so...

I'm Mexican too, and I just got back from Japan after two months. Believe me, it was AMAZING. Also, people will automatically be curious of where you're from, etc. Learn as much Japanese before you go. Seriously. Do you have any friends in Japan, or are you just going to make friends? If it's the latter, you'll be very lonely in a place where barely anyone speaks English. Seriously, I had an AMAZING time. They also are impressed if you can make tortillas. I made some for my host family. They were so happy.

Again, I cannot stress enough that Japan is fine for traveling. Read my post in "Living in Japan" if you want. I talked a bit about that stuff there.
