Thanks~

@fanz70 You can definitely get around pretty easily in Japan without being able to speak/read/write(why would you need to write?).
There's tons to do over there even if you're alone, you might end up with new friends or a traveling partner if you are end up staying at a social hostel place. Just pick a few places that you must see and you'll encounter things you want to check out along the way. =D Ahh, you make me want to go right now.
if u got a group of 3, maybe look into renting out a place on airbnb. split it between 3 ppl and u could get a nicely furnished place in a central area. did the work for u as well...for example.

Tokyo Loft (Naka Meguro/Daikanyama) in Meguro
Shibuya`Times Square` 5 min on foot in Shibuya

japan is a lot more affordable nowadays than ever. if u want an affordable but small business hotel, heard good things about sakura hotel. i wouldnt write off hostels either. the hostels in japan are very well maintained and taken care of (this is for the better ones of course). id recommend k's house tokyo in kuramae. they also have a 2nd location in tokyo a few minutes away at asakusa.

and to restate it, japan is very foreigner friendly. u will have no problems getting around. it would not hurt to know a bit of japanese though.
