This thread has alot of information. It will take awhile to read it thoroughly and grasp what was written. If you answered the questions I am about to ask, please re-direct to where they were first posted, so as to not bother you. So here's what I'd like to ask

Do you still share you extra room to people who travel to Japan?

And I recall you saying that a tourist visa is only good for 3 months. With that said, how much money do you recommend an American brings for that time there? You can give just a minimum number if you'd like.
