OK, there are just a few realities that a traveler to Japan just has to deal with. Yes, it actually CAN cost a small fortune to get from an airport to a downtown hotel, there actually is a correct way and a wrong way to enter & exit the subway and yes, making a call on a public phone is challenging for even the tech-savviest of people. But, there are fewer places that are more chaotically gorgeous, visually stimulating and sensory-overloading than Japan- a kaleidoscope of hauntingly beautiful scenery, eloquent tradition, maddening nightlife, quirky fashion and shopping experiences that will astound you.
How's the weather? About as diverse as the land itself, varying greatly between the regions. The climate in most key cities is temperate, the traditional 4 seasons with a mild winter and generally hot summer. The climate year round gets cooler as you travel north, with heavy snowfall.
