Actually, funny enough (and this isn't meant to say that Yakuza are particularly good guys, they're still gang members one must remember), I spoke with someone who stayed over in Japan for a while, and made friends with a few Yakuza members.

She apparently stayed in an apartment/dorm thing that was run by them, and they apparently had a fair amount of fun pranking each other 'till the boss told them to stop.

So basically... If you DO end up having to deal with them, make friends, not enemies, lol.


Other than that... Good luck. Enjoy.
