The very first time, I put my items as a carry on since I thought they were going to check it, little did I know, not one care was given.
You can also purchase tickets through a 7-11, we did a day or two before we actually went. Also, there's a store in front of the 1:1 scale Gundam in a little trailer that pretty much sells what they sell at the gift shop. From my memory, they were also the same prices, but I could be off.
Updated the OP. Taking suggestions on things to add.
I took Japan Airlines, they even encourage you to buy additional luggage (you're allowed two checked-in luggages) to buy souvenirs and all that... They really don't care as long as it isn't something illegal.
I actually came back in here to edit my post and give you all of the credit but you got to it first.Awesome. Mind if I get some credit, never been part of an OP for an OT before
When I took Malaysian air the first time I went, they actually allowed 2 checked in luggages per person and we bought a ton of stuff. When I took Canada air last year though, they only allowed 1 check in and the weight limit was less too. We had to do a lot of moving stuff around and getting rid of a few things last year. Kinda sucked. I looked at JAL, but the price difference was usually $500+ more per person.

Really? I took Air Canada -> JAL and I was allowed 2 baggages on both.

I've always wanted to visit Japan and a few Eurpean countries, but all I know is English.
Genuine question, how do you get around not knowing the native tongue?

Did Hiroshima yesterday and just come back from miyajima.
Hiroshima was interesting. The streetcar to the atomic bomb dome drops you literally next to it. so matter of factly that it feels a bit underwhelming. But the peace park is really nice. That sense of quietness really makes you stop and think.
Had soba okonomiyaki at a place calle Goemon which was really nice.
Miyajima was good. We went fairly early so it was quiet and we could get some nice photos. We ran into a wedding party having photos taken at the torii gate so we took some of them too
Now heading back to Hiroshima to catch the shinkansen to Tokyo. Tomorrow we'll hang around asakasa and the skytree

Ho come there's no people?

I only went half-way to the top since I was going to Nara:
That's Todaiji temple in Nara in the last pic.
Love seeing these pics from similar shots that I took
Here's mine
Silly Question!
Is it considered unacceptable to just go and freely charge your cell phones in cafes after purchasing an order?
I was in the idol cafe / live house(one where Denpa Inc. got thier start) in Akihabara and was semi-amused that the staff went from "welcome home master" in a high-pitched voice.
To sternly saying from across the room in a low-pitched voice "In this store, do not charge your devices!" when I was using a plug right next to my table.
Back when I lived in Japan I had no smart phone so didn't have this.... but now I've been charging it at every cafe I've gone too.
I was thinking since they had 500 yen/30 mins cover charge, but maybe it's an insult to use that time looking at your cell phone instead of at the idols in training....

To sternly saying from across the room in a low-pitched voice "In this store, do not charge your devices!" like I was doing something that was obviously not in common sense, when I was using a plug right next to my table.

Am I crazy for wanting to just travel Japan's countryside even more so than it's cities?
I'll just ignore the touristy pictures...
How about Some Food Photos!
666 - コンデンス煮干しつけ麺 Condensed Niboshi Tsukemen (so thick. So amazing.)
Breakfast @ Denny's! - With the staple nuclear green melon soda I highly suggest trying the Denny's in Japan, you will be pleasantly surprised
Gyuan - Meat Nigiri! 100g Sirloin + 100g Filet of Kobe Beef! (Thanks RapidCancel!! it was AMAZING)
Tsukiji - Unfortunately we went on a day off... so only 2 or 3 places were open.. still good though!
Tsurutontan : Curry Udon with Shabu Beef- That bowl was huge, was also yummy! Mmm Mm
Ramen Museum - Salmon based Ramen, then Tonkotsu-Miso mix ramen.Mm. Great to try both "sides" of the ramen base spectrum. Both amazing, but I naturally prefer the thicker styles
Omae Teppanyaki - Assorted appetizers | Red Snapper & Scallop | Japanese Chateaubriand!
Papapapapain - Pineapple Ramen! (Salt + Shrimp base soup with actual pineapple juice. The egg is also soaked in pineapple juice! The pineapple isn't as strong as you would think!! It was awesome)
More to come tomorrow!
