Nao, I think you got my drift, and I appreciate your reply. I caught hints to things I have seen around me, but it sounds like that doesn't quite apply to you, which makes me happy.

I dunno...you sound ready to have a mind-scrambling experience to me! Enjoy it.

There are manga-internet cafes all around Tokyo. Keep us updated with what you are up to (maybe start a "Nao's Trip Diary" thread), and we can give advice and cool places to go while you are there.

the softbank is really good for people who come back often,

that company sounds okay.

a lot cheaper then the airports phones.

i like softbank cuz i can keep the phone, and every time i come back i just recharge the phone.

Depending on where you go, it's only a few dollars an hour. A lot of places supply free (non-alcoholic) drinks, too. If you were there for only a few days, I wouldn't bring it up, but for a month, you'll want internet, I am sure.

i recommend goin in the spring!

If you like cultural stuff and like to party at the same time, then the spring is best!

Spring-Summer has the most Festivals on the streets!

and you have to see the cherry blossoms bloom at least, once its breath taking.

for phone, if you really want to get one get the softbank pre-paid phones. You only need a passport and the address of the place where you stay.. its actually just for formality. The prepaid phones is not that strict, cause it targetted for travellers. Phone can be converted to english. Prices range from 7000yen - 10,000yen. Then you can load it with a 2000yen worth of calls ( good for 3 months I think ).
