Alright search for book on Japanese etiqutte.
It is quite expensive over there so bring a lot of money.

Some of the foods you have to try,
Authentic Tokyo Ramen.
Sushi, go to those places which have the mini conveyor belt and you can select what you want to try, Caution! This is expensive.

Taxi rides are extremely expensive as well. I remember paying about $70 USD for only 3 freaking miles, or 5Km.

Also enjoy the bullet train AKA Shinkansen, if you ever go on it.

The best thing to do is to have fun, but respect their culture.

from this site:
Anyway, she almost agreed with me on that point. Almost. Until the girl ran by screaming at the top of her lungs "Breasts! Breasts!"

She doesn't even have them. And since she's Japanese, she probably never will.

I won't bank on much of it being factual as a whole. There is no doubt some of what the guy is spouting off about has happened to at least some people though.
