I wish I would have known more about the historical culture and the pop culture. You may find yourself at something like a temple where you can appreciate it for it's aesthetic beauty, but if you don't know anything about the place, and it's significance for why it was built, it's kind of just awkward. The same goes for pop culture. You'll see a lot of anime, manga, music, games and whatnot that you have no clue about, and you'll wish you were a bit more brushed up on the pop culture aspect. So generally, just learn a bit about the culture before coming over; it really does help.
