That's brilliant. 

Have a great time.
I've got very little Japan knowledge, but I posted on my Facebook wall for my friends in Japan.
Thank you, Rebecca! I'd love to hear what they have to say. I'll keep an eye on it! 

There are a few comments, some more helpful than others.

One of my friends asked whether you'd like an English-speaker to contact while you're there.
And she also passes on her thanks for your help.

I've been following your post on facebook, and the advice about not visiting back alley "hostess bars" made me laugh.

So, um... Hi there.
And, I'm going to Japan.

I will try to not follow in George R. R. Martin's footsteps.
