The money is currently in a Japanese bank account.

Obviously a one-on-one straight trade is best (no commissions, etc,) but I don't know anybody who wants to trade thousands of dollars for Japanese yen. Are there any web services that put people coming from the US to Japan in touch with people making the reverse trip? What are the other least expensive options? Wire transferring from banks is darn costly....

I know they bow, but if you were to go to Japan and stick your hand out for a Japanese native to shake, would they know what to do?

I understand that Japan uses the same Type A & B wall sockets (2 and 3 prong). But I am not sure if the volts/amps are at the same levels.

Are any converters needed for American electric devices in Japan?

I once heard that babies in Asia, especially Japan are often fed mushy versions of exactly what the parents or older siblings are eating- spices and all. Is this true?

I live in America but I am a fan of the Takarazuka Revue in Japan. I would like to purchase some of their DVDs. Unfortunately, I can't speak Japanese and so I can't navigate the websites necessary for me to order 'Zuka merchandise. Furthermore, a lot of websites don't ship to the USA. Does anyone know of a company/site that will allow me to buy Takarazuka Revue things? If there are multiple sites, which is cheapest?

I'd like to have about 100,000 Yen with me when I go to Japan in March. The market rate as of today is .008227. However, if I make the exchange through my bank (Wells Fargo) they will only give me .008584 plus they will charge $8 on top of the 4% rate difference. Is there any way to avoid the $8 charge and/or the 4% rate difference between market and Wells Fargo? I imagine the rates in the airport are even worse.

In Japan almost every piece of plastic is recyclable, which is certainly not the case in the United States. Milk cartons and other objects that are not recyclable in the United States are recyclable in the Japan. In Japan there are many recyclable only 'trash' cans through all major cities--even at stores like 7-11, which in the United States most all 7-11s do not have recyclable only 'trash cans'. Even in JR trains there are some advertisements saying to recycle. I read that Japan recycles more glass than any other country. Why is this? Are there pro-recycle laws or do corporation and people just care more about the environment?
