My birthday is around 25th July, I'll be 18 then in '11.
And @sarasi: I saw a site with 2 tickets for 1100 euros.
And 4 weeks would be fine too.
Also I don't know what I wanna see yet because I didn't look around on the net too much yet. But yea it's next summer so time enough.
Also I heard theres alot of dangerous/big insects in Japan, like those giant hornets, giant centipedes and spiders with like 20 feet. Will I encounter them in the cities too or just outside the cities?
And what on earth is a food themepark? o.o
Lots of stand with food or something?
Never heard of it.
And also, will it be usefull to learn a quick japanese course or should we just watch more anime to learn more basic words?
And also, are there a lot of supermarkets in the cities theirselves or not?
And are they expensive?
And ofcourse thanks for the replies, these will be very usefull for me.
I'll probably come up with lotsa more questions later, lol.

I went last year to Tokyo for a couple of weeks, what I can recommend:
- buy the Lonely planet, everything is in there.
- Akibahabara is a must, if you like anime.
- I don't think alcohol will be a problem. Also there vending machines everywhere.
- lol, no insects man in cities.
- there small 24/7 supermarkets everywhere. Food is about the same as in Holland, maybe even a little cheaper in Japan. But you'll spent more money, because food is great and most people eat at small restaurants.
- You can manage with English, but some basic Japanese (where is..., thank you, etc.) is handy. People will appreciate it when they see you're interested in their culture and language.
- summer is hot! try to go in September/October
- I went in September, and got a ticket for € 550 with KLM (direct flight). I was pretty lucky, but just check prices regurlaly.
- Enjoy! It's awesome and people are sometimes a bit shy but very friendly.
