To be honest, kanji isn't what you need to "get by" in Japan, but a good understanding of converstational Japanese is.
I knew gaijin that knew 2000-3000 kanji...could read any town name on a map...knew kanji that even Japanese people weren't familiar with...but they didn't know how to ask where the nearest train station was.
