um, just as a heads up for novices who are buyiing from japan, as of today the rate at most banking institutions will be selling you YEN in cash and not using any plastic in the mix is $1=79¥ , mix in some plastic with that might be needing to subtract anywhere from 10-15 points off that.
so just as a warning the yen will keep dipping and your USD will be buying a lot less, good luck and be aware.
