Hello,
My registration date is a bit off from now, but I figured I may as well make a post for once. Up until recently, I was more curious at what info was available, but now I have a reason to stop lurking.
Japan is one of those places that I've really wanted to travel to since I was a kid; honestly, I was an awful wapanese when I was a teenager, but the degree of zeal's rolled off with age. Of course, I had almost no chances to go for forever. However, I realized that I'm in a position where I've got money (sort of) and time (sigh, long-term unemployment) to check it off the Big List of Places I've Been. Now I'm set for eighteen fun-filled spring days from late March to early April between Tokyo, Osaka, and Fukuoka.
Obviously, I wouldn't be coming to Japan with just P4P in mind, but it's one of those things that's always in the back of my head when traveling. I'm not a newbie in that respect, considering I've been to Korea (embarrassing first-time stories ahoy!), Thailand (once), and the Philippines (three times, two of those almost back-to-back). That said, I'm hardly seasoned, and there's always more I could learn. I try to do my due diligence and do my research, so I shouldn't ask any hideously dumb question. Forgive me if I do slip up, though.
So, yeah, life story aside, nice to meet you guys. I don't know how much I'll be able to contribute to the collective knowledge, since it's probably just going to be this one trip for a long while (spending half my life's savings), but I'll try to add any experiences I might have in Japan. I'd half expect a place with information as valuable and a community as good to be behind a paywall. Thank god it's not!
