The best advice I can give you is to do as you're expected to. Be very polite, don't speak informally or swear. Know your Japanese, there will be times where you will not be able to use basic English to get your ideas across. If you go to any major city esp. Tokyo metro there will be a LOT of foreigners, almost all White but it's weirdly overtaken and there's spots where Japanese isn't used because they have their own community, like they're migrants in the UK or something.
tl;dr your mileage may vary, be a nice person and you'll be okay

I recommend you visit Tokyo Skytree for a 1500 foot view of Tokyo. Most people have no idea how big Tokyo is. I got emotional when I first saw it. I never knew that humans could create such a thing.
A few quick cultural suggestions: don't wear your backpack / rucksack on your back while traveling on public transport, even if the trains and busses are relatively empty. This is considered extremely rude because some passengers do it when it's busy and it takes up space and prevents people from boarding.
Don't use a handkerchief even if you have the flu. The Japanese people are hygiene-obsessed and they consider blowing your nose and putting the snot back in your pocket to be monstrous. Use tissues. Many Tokyo businessmen and companies give out mini branded boxes of tissues instead of business cards.
Be prepared for Japanese school children to speak to us in an attempt to practice their English language skills. They aren't interested in you. Make an effort to speak clearly to help them speak, and kindly correct them if they get something very wrong.
If you like hiking, consider climbing Mt Fuji. You can do it in a day if you're fit. It'll be VERY COLD at the top so dress appropriately. Don't feel bad if Fuji is obscured by clouds because you'll probably get to experience walking through the clouds and "standing above the sky" if you're lucky. It's a freaky feeling.
Tokyo is very crowded and has a culture of people minding their own business. They won't move for you when walking in a crowd, so don't take it personally.
Japanese people are kind, polite and beautifully racist. Their most polite word for "foreigner" loosely translates to, "outside person who should remain outside".
You may notice Japanese people hanging blessings outside your apartment. These are traditional because they consider non-Japanese people to have demon blood.
Anything else, just ask.
"Japanese people are kind, polite and beautifully racist"
Absolutely perfect, my kind of race! Tokyo Skytree is definitely locked in! I'm not too fussed about Tokyo, I will visit it for sure. What's more important to me is it's non-jew'ed culture, so, I'd like to visit the country, landscapes, and even little based regions and prefectures.
The lack of gates can be confusing for tourists from nations infested with niggers.
If it's late at night and the streets are empty, enjoy these beautiful temples from the main council footpath and you'll be fine.

If you'll be spending time on trains, I recommend taking a physical book to teach yourself Kanji.
Kanji is a common Chinese-based written language you'll see in Tokyo which is made from glyphs that have contextual meanings like individual entire words.
Kanji is a fascinating langue and super easy to learn the basics because the gist of Kanji messages can generally be understood even if you know only a fraction of the individual glyphs.
For example, 口 (Kuchi) means MOUTH, 入 (Iri) means ENTER and 出 (Shutsu) means OUT.
You'll see these Kanji signs at all Japanese train stations:
入口 means path to the mouth of an entrance
出口 means path to the mouth of an exit
Even if you only knew 口 and you saw that in a train station, you'd know the context of the sign indicates a pathway to something specific.
Teach yourself one Kanji character each day just for fun, based on the characters you see most often. You'll be able to amuse yourself by struggling to read complex Kanji messages while sitting on the train. Knowing stuff is fun.
As you learn, you'll be able to understand more and more of what signs say. This is exactly how Japanese children learn: they start by understanding the basic context of the message based on their limited knowledge of characters and as they learn new characters, they learn to understand more context about the messages.
男 (otoko): Men. For men's restrooms.
女 (onna): Women. For women's restrooms.
Now you know Kanji. :-)
The commonly used derogatory term for black person is:
黒んぼ (kuro n bo)
... But I'm unsure how to translate it because I don't know enough contextual Kanji... my best guess is something like "blacks are inferior (crude)", but it has more nuanced meaning than that.
This opinion is unrionically shared by yours truly, i always carry Kleenex packets when i travel
people who use used rags to wipe their noses are culutral niggers
I was covered in injuries, had grown out a beard and long hair, had a high-altitude tan, had the traveler's flu, was wearing unwashed climbing gear and smelled like New Delhi, so I wasn't too fussy about tissue etiquette.
When traveling over prolonged periods, I try to keep my rucksack as light and uncluttered as possible... which means I stash a couple of handkerchiefs rather than boxes of tissues.
what was it like in Nepal? interesting place of culture or a third world sub-india continent with snow?
But I mostly use it as a route to get to Tibet and Mt. Everest. Not much snow or mountain climbing to be had there. 'Relatively low altitude.
I have friends in Durbar Square that only see about every three years, but I love them.
One of the best shitskin cultures and very different to India.
Unlike India, Nepalese have generally rejected materialism and consumerism for living happy and spiritual lives.
The standard Nepalese greeting of "namaste" loosely translates to "the divine spark in me recognizes the divinity in you".
Ask a local how long it'll take to walk to a neighboring town and they'll ask to see the sole of your shoes and ask if you have water for the trip, before answering. They actually sincerely care for each other and foreigners. I wish more Christians treated our brothers and sisters in Jesus like that.
For example, about three weeks ago there was a revolution in Nepal where locals had finally had enough of their corrupt government.
Hilariously, this was largely triggered by a social media campaign showing "Nepo Kids" (nepotism among the families of government officials). These videos showed their children driving sports cars and living large on stolen tax dollars.
The riots started when the Nepalese government banned social media to stop citizens watching those videos.
Politicians houses were burned. Parliament burned. Politician's cars were smashed. I saw the Nepalese finance ministers being chased through a river while wearing nothing but his underwear and being beaten with sticks...
... but not a single shop window was smashed.
Not a single item was looted.
And when the riots were over and the government was replaced, the people of Nepal swept the streets clean.
Even the tiny 20-square-foot one-person run Kathmandu grocery stores with dirt floors are always kept spotless. When there are no customers, the owners are sweeping the dirt, polishing the shelves and making everything sparkle.
And at 8am you'll see hundreds of Nepalese men emerge from small mud-brick, dirt-floor houses in spotless business suits with ironed white shirts, polished shoes and shiny watches, dressed like they've come straight from Wall St. as they walk to work. They look sharp. They put niggers to shame.
During the violence and chaos, a lone British tourist was caught in the middle of the riots. So he documented it. He became the hero of Nepal, the face of the riots and an instant celebrity to the Nepalese people. They loved him for sharing t heir story.
I've forgotten his name, but this is his channel if you're interested. He went viral world-wide so there's plenty of news reports and summaries about him too, if you only want to consume something quickly:

[Here's a 70 second long clip about it.](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Bac46semyco?feature=share)
For me, this sums up the Nepalese people and culture perfectly.
strange how only brick tier IQ nations manage to revolt and expell their thieving govt while White nations are to be slaves in perpetuity to ZOG (because Sri lanka also had something like that last year)
