Thats cool. I lived there for 1 year during my Junior year of HS and also for 2 years after that. Damn do I miss it. But in your case, you don't have to worry. There are many phones that you can set to display in English. If you go to Docomo or Vodafone you can get awesome phones. Also the cell phone plans are just about as expensive here as they are there but you get a lot more amenities with their plans.

Oh and Mie-ken is a nice place. Been there.

Mie-ken... hope your Kansai-ben is OK
But really, I'm envious!

you can pick up a international cell from the air port that your gonna be fly'n to. I'm guessing its gonna be kansai kuko. Also I think ntt docomo has a phone with english on it.

I'll be out there in a few weeks have fun

how much you think it is....in hawaii the phone runs for like 299 and up... i know that the japanese phones can't be brought back to the states to be used. so i am in a debate cuz i am going to be there for a year....
