I'm the kind of person that gets really anxious and worried

where's your first host, Japan? what city? what dates? do you have any contacts?

>>17810993
The first host is in Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan.

I don't have any contact with anyone in Japan.

>>17810996
Oh, and the dates are December 2nd, to December 12th.

do you know the building address at least? usually hosts leave the keys at the concierge or front desk with a not saying "Mr. Anon from X country will be here to pick up the keys, please check his passport and record his arrival and departure date"

If going on faith is too much of a struggle for you, I may be able to spot you a friend or two in tokyo to at the very least translate for you via phone if you don't speak japanese. it's 4:30 am in Japan right now so I won't be able to ask around for a good 4 more hours, but if you do want some help let me know here

>>17811001
Yeah, I know the address and what the building looks like.

If things don't work out soon, I would really appreciate the help you're offering. Thank you.

so what brings you to japan for a whole month? do you speak japanese?

>>17811023
Thanks.

I don't speak a word of Japanese, but I've always wanted to go to Japan. I recently finished my second year of university and really didn't like where my life was headed, and was starting to feel depressed. I had some money saved up and decided to finally spend a month travelling all over Japan, and then hopefully change things around when I'm back.

>>17811032
a month is a lot of time, what parts of japan will you visit? do you have an itinerary or a list of cities you'll hit for sure?

>>17811036
I've got two apartments booked in Tokyo, and one in Osaka. I've got a JR Pass so I'll be spending the day travelling and then come back to either of those two cities at the end of the day.

I've got an itinerary of places I want to visit within Tokyo and Osaka, and the cities/prefectures I've got set so far are: Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Nagoya, Fukui, Fukushima, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Sapporo. Basically, I'm going to spend the first third of the trip exploring as much as I can of the Eastern/Northern area, the second third exploring the Western/Southern area, and then the last third finishing off the Eastern/Northern area.

Pro tip: use tinder
I was sightseeing and at afternoon dating in tokyo. Also the city is more about doing then seeing stuff so with someone it is way more fun. Japanse are super bad at english, i couldnt even order meals properly

Wouldn't it be kinda hard to get with someone over there if they don't speak English well/at all though?
