Wow, you can speak Japanese. How amazing. I first went to Japan in 1991 just before the SGI was excommunicated by the priests. I knew two words of Japanese - Conichi Wa (don't know how to spell that) and arigato. Those words, with a lot of bowing, got me all around the place. I went back in 2005 with a delegation from SGI-UK Art of Living magazine. In that time I noticed that there is a lot more English spoken and more global chains such as Starbucks. And navigating Shinjuku station remains a challenge!
