I will be moving to Tokyo at the end of the year for school (TUJ.) I was curios of a few things:

1. What should I bring with me? What is essential for living there? How minimal should I Be?
Bring an optimistic attitude and do your best to keep it. If you have an iPod you should bring it. Also, you can load free podcast Japanese lessons onto an iPod.

2. What should I learn before arriving there? I have already learned Katakana and Hiragana.
You're off to a great start! Now continue with basic Kanji just as elementary school kids do. You will be surprised at how quickly you will learn once you're immersed.

3. Are there any hotels that are good to stay at for a few days that aren't very expensive?
Long ago I found that backpackers were a reasonably priced alternative to hotels etc.

Any and all advice is much appreciated. I am very excited and nervous about moving there!! I cannot wait!!
Good luck.
