How is it travelling Japan if you are a complete noob regarding moonspeak? I've been wanting to visit Hiroshima, the nature around there seems very beautiful.

I was mainly in Tokyo, but almost every sign is written in english. Also, if you get a portable wifi, it's almost impossible to get lost

I was planning on going sometime this year, but I want an off-season trip, to both cut on costs and avoid crowds. The only "seasonal" attraction I might be willing to compromise my plans for is hanabi, but I haven't decided yet.

I used to think about going to japan but then I just realize that most the stuff I want from it I can just buy them online, and the stuff that cannot be buy online wouldn't pass the border customs.

I have a trip scheduled for April, I've never been before. For various reasons I'm planning on staying in Shinjuku for a week, then doing a few days near Mt Fuji at Kawaguchiko, then coming back to Tokyo in a different area (I haven't decided yet).
I'm already planning on checking out all the /animu/-related sights in addition to the natural beauty of Mt Fuji but I'm not sure what to do in the second part of my Tokyo stay. I was thinking of doing some novelty shit with those extra days like staying in a robot hotel or love hotel.

I'll be staying in Kabukicho the last two weeks of february with a friend. We're also going to Kawaguchiko one night, in my first trip to Japan I couldn't see Mt Fuji at all, not even from the shinkansen. Also one night stay at Nikko and a quick one day trip to see Hikone's castle.
1st pic related is how you SHOULD see Mt Fuji, 2nd pic related is how I actually saw it.

Bad luck anon, looks like the weather wasn't great that day.
Kabukicho is in Shinjuku so it sounds like we have very similar plans. I'm not doing any distant day trips but I've never been before so I wanted to fully experience Tokyo in the limited time I have available, and save the rest of the country for my next trip.
Anything you'd recommend in Tokyo that doesn't come up on the top 10 list of anime fan destinations?

Shit, my trip was pretty basic in that regard. Aside from roaming around in Akihabara for two days, I visited Asakusa, Tokyo Tower, the science and the history museums at Ueno, the free visit to the Imperial Palace, a couple of visits to the town hall observation deck, and Robot Restaurant (expensive, but I completely recommend to go once)
Honestly, for me just staying in Kabukicho was already special, since I'm a yakuzafag.

I'll look into all the places you just suggested, none of them are far from where I'm intending to go anyway.
It's going to be special no matter what. I saw that there are ice caves near Kawaguchiko that I also intend to go to, might be worth checking out for you if you have time. I'm doing the gondola ride too but that'll only chew up a couple of hours at most.

>ice caves
That's what I told my friend we would do as an excuse. The plan is, the first day arrive from Tokyo (the JR pass doesn't cover all the trip), check the hotel to leave the bags, learn the location, stops and timetables of the bus to Narusawa, probably visit the ice caves and take all the pictures of Mt Fuji we can, and the second day walk along route 71 into Aokigahara Forest.
I wanted to visit this place for two decades and I got so butthurt when that retard youtuber had to fuck around there last year.

It's just a forest bro, shitty people have probably been in there before and there are other places you can go to see trees while you wait for 20 years.

Aside from Kyozumi-dera and the Imperial Palace, anything worth visiting in Kyoto if you only have one day?

I've set aside two days in Akihabara, so I don't care about mangos or animus outside of that.

Kinkaku-ji and Fushimi Inari Taisha are the obvious choices, if you can fit them in. I'd recommend going in the morning if you're able to as there's tons of chinks that visit them.

Yes, definitely going to visit this too (I loved Ueno's cheap copy, pic related). Thanks, Anon.

Going to Tokyo in less than 2 months. I don't know a lick of Japanese. Is the train system there easy to learn for baka gaijin?

Please don't go as a baka gaijin. Train system is easy. Hope your shape recognition skills are solid.
