I am just having a bit of a realization with this thread...there is a zone between underpreparing and overpreparing. We have had posters spend months here preparing for a 2 week vacation.
There's a point where you get diminishing returns.
I have spent a lot of time in Japan, so I don't prepare much for my trips other than telling friends I am coming. I usually have a half-dozen things I want to do, which means half or more of my days have no schedule, but I usually have no trouble finding something to do.
At the same time, I am lucky that I get to come to Japan often, where for others it will be a one-time experience. I guess I am saying I am glad that I came to Japan with a "clean slate"...without any preconceived notions or fears that the Internet seems to be good at feeding. That era is surely over.
