Nice, a fellow traveler to Japan who is also determined to go back!! I hope you succeed too. I am posting a series on my trip to Japan, latest is https://steemit.com/japan/@internetotaku/how-i-traveled-to-japan-and-accomplished-one-of-my-dreams-part-3
By the way, did you have any trouble with the subways?
Hey, that's pretty neat! I'll give your post a read in a minute.
I actually had a pretty good experience with the subway, except that the first time I used them (from the airport) I paid the entire fare up front but transferred companies so ended up having to pay again half way through... I cheated and used google maps the entire trip though.
