2) Yeah, it can be very cool, especially when you get a chance to travel on weekends and holidays.

3) In the big cities it can be crowded, but I lived in the countryside, about 1 hour south of Osaka. Not crowded there or most of the rest of Japan outside of Tokyo and a few other big cities.

4) I really loved a lot of the food, though I never really learned to like sushi or sashimi, or takoyaki, or red bean paste, or natto... But I loved ramen, yakisoba, domburi, kara'age, tonkatsu, zosui, yakiniku, shabu shabu, and plenty of other foods.
Thanks you for telling me this... Because it really does expand my knowledge seeing how I would like to move there one day... ><;
