Stuff like this makes me miss how much I used to travel.
Yeah, traveling is hella fun. It's what I plan to do once my daughter graduates college.

My plan so far was to stay that extra week in Tokyo to relax and explore on my own and your post confirms it's not that bad of an idea, thanks.

Nope. :negative:
Discovering weird/cool/unusual things around Tokyo was fun as heck. Hell, one of the places I visited with Sugita was Taniguchi Gakki and when he saw me grab what he dubbed my "Tokyo Lover" (a Japanese-made ESP that he called that because it had a color scheme that reminded him of Erica Fontaine), he was all "Wait, you're a lefty? :raise:". I never wanted to leave that store.

Also, this one time Nakamura accompanied us because I wanted to explore the place Sugita called his "Holy Land Pilgrimage" (turns out it's Tokyo Big Sight, because of course) off-season and he took the wrong train and yelled at both of us over the phone. :mmmhmm:

While it certainly would make it easier to go "off the designated area" to find fun places, you don't need to speak Japanese to move around Tokyo without much problem. Might want to learn some basic traffic signs a little bit, even though it's still fairly easy to make out what most things mean. Overall, if you're gonna be traveling around with someone, you should be fine.

GMQ, I don't know if you're the outdoorsy type, but Japan has a lot of really beautiful forest & mountain areas that might be fun to explore! All of my friends who have gone hiking in Japan have just loved it.
This is true. :kimchi:

While I do recommend you to read a bit, at least to get familiar with traffic/indication signs, you'll be fine. Pretty much everything in Tokyo has signs.

For example, if you see a sign that says「止めろ」or just something where the kanjis are very emphasized 「止」or「停」 it means "It'd be wise to stop right there, skippy".

Some of the basic stuff is:
  • 「北」means north
  • 「南」means south
  • 「西」West
  • 「東」East
  • 「上」Up/Above
  • 「下」Down/Below
  • 「左」Left
  • 「右」Right

I'm on board with this point of view. Sometimes I feel like I have to prove my american-ness to other people and I know that if he were real captain america would hold me close and whisper softly into my ear: "you're a real american"
