What exactly are you looking for? Restaurants, hotel, itinerary, general tips?
When in Tokyo you will use the subways a lot. It's very easy and extremely cheap. Get a passmo or suica card that you can load up with Yen to access the subway. It was the first thing we did at the Haneda airport. You can also use them to buy things at 7-11. When navigating the subway system use Google maps and FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY. Google maps will tell you the exact entrance/exit and platform number. If you go in the wrong entrance you may not be able to access your platform or if you go out the wrong exit, it can add extra time (sometimes a lot) and walking to your trip.
If you happen to go to Shinjuku station, just know before hand you will get lost in there. Add extra time to your trip and just enjoy walking through it. Shinjuku station is the busiest subway station in the world 3 million people use it per day and it has 200 entrance/exits.
I could talk for hours about Japan. It is an amazing country.

I've alwasy been fascinated by Japan but if I'm honest with myself I'll likely never go, it just seems so overwhelming. The only foreign countries I've been to (not including mexico and canada in this) were in Europe and the language barrier was practically non existent. I coudl get by with a handful of phrases in the lcoal language but many people could speak Enlgihs anyway. It just seems like in Japan I would have no way to read anything or communicate with anyone which sounds very daunting. Did you ever have issues like that?
