I'm not from Japan but i did go there as an exchange student for 10 days. I just came back like about 2 weeks agoJapan will be the most greatest experience ever! Well for me it was. They are very high tech and there's big buildings like everywhere. Everyone is nice and respectful. It's really safe over there cause you can walk late and not get kidnapped. The people I was around with were like the nicest people on Earth! They drive on the opposite side of the road and the opposite side of our driver's side. You'll love it cause i sure did. The buildings are so colorful too compare it here to America. The eat healthy food and stay on a diet. Almost everyone there are in good shape and physically healthy and they dress in style. There's so many things you can do in Japan. There's also so many things to visit or to see. There are the castles, the pearl bridge(biggest bridge in the world), Nara (the ancient city), Tokyo, Hiroshima(famous of the atomic bomb dropping), the bullet train. You're going to have a lot of fun there. I sure did. Oh don't worry there'd be some Japanese that know English. Many of the Japanese students know some English. But it's good for you to know some too.
Some useful words:
arigato gozaimas-thank you
do itashimashite-you're welcome
itadakimasu-it's like sayin thank you before you eat
gochiso sama deshta-it's like saying thank you after you eat
konichiwa-hello, good afternoon
ohayo gozaimas- good morning
konbanwa-good evening
chotto matte-wait a minute
hai-yes
kekko desu-I'm fine(polite way of saying no)
Well hope the info helped. I'm going to go back to Japan for sure some day in the future. Well i hope you have fun for your like 2 days when you go when you go.

2 days is definitely not enough to experience Japan.
Anyways the one who got it down the most is Monicha, that's pretty much Japan in a nutshell. In response to the first answer, ALOT of people do speak English. I think it's the #1 foreign language subject there. You just have to ask (Eigo ga hanasuru ?) It's colorful, great fashion, and a tad bit more expensive than America. Waaay safer, but if you're going in Summer, it's going to be humid like you ain't never seen.

I have not been there but I would DIE to go there, sadly, sniff, I am only 14, so I got a little while to wait, so I figured in the mean time I should learn there language and laws, and possibly if I decide, there writing....but...
From what I hear, If you go there you better know a little japanese, because NO ONE, I MEAN NO ONE SPEAKS ENGLISH!!!
I will give you this site, it is 20$ a month but it is awsome it provides these little movies that tell you how to pronounce the word because you do not want to memorize it then find out you are pronouncing it wrong...

the place is he being stationed? i've got in hassle-free terms been there as quickly as myself, even nevertheless it replaced into truthfully strategies blowing whilst we took the holiday. The subculture and human beings there, are all their very own. it somewhat is like being on an entire diverse planet. there is diverse factors of Japan nevertheless. Kyoto, is a factor of a greater "classic" eastern way of life. you may take long hikes as much as Kuoto, connect in classic eastern nutrition, and life, fairly like what the futile era replaced into. Tokyo, isn't in all probability one city, as that's built from many districts. Harajuku is nicely-known for their unique paying for, and shops, and Shibuya has some surprising resorts and homes. Shinjuku, is greater of a park section, the place the cherry blossom (sakura) festevil is held. wish that gave you some concept?
