In general I would say that the less Japanese you speak and the less local people you know, the more money you will spend and the less you will actually experience the real Japan. That's why I would learn at least some basic Japanese and maybe try to get in contact with a few Japanese people before you go. There are quite a few sites on the net where Japanese people want to get to know western people.
I'm totally unmotivated recently, and I also failed learning Russian few years ago, I don't think I'd be able to learn a language with a different alphabet.

Actually I know 3 foreign languages and I've been always told I have good language skills but I'm not really planning on learning Japanese.

I don't know anyone in Japan either... BTW JP - do you LIVE in Japan? Or are only on vacation there?

Try to contact with people in Japan before going there? You mean through MySpace etc? Or perhaps AFF?
