Thanks for the help

Ill keep all the info in mind but I think something closer to the centre of Tokyo may be better suited to me.

Just another few questions

1) I heard there may be some japanese people who may not want to sit next to me on the bus etc because Im foreign, which tbh I realise isnt a common thing for japanese people to do and it doesnt bother me too much. Im just wondering do Japanese people have any prejudise's against English people in particular? Are people likely to assume I am American?

2) Travelling back from Japan, are Japanese airports in Tokyo likely to be signposted in English? ( I assume they will be, but dont want to end up missing my flight because I dont know where Im going!)

3) How do I flag a taxi in Japan?

4) If Im in a Japanese shop or anywhere else for that matter, am I likely to offend people if I talk in English or would they expect me to attempt to speak in Japanese first?
