Here’s a very fast video on how to buy a ticket in Tokyo. It’s reportedly very confusing to buy a ticket in a Tokyo train station.

How to get closer to “living Japanese”? Maybe this video will help. This first one is on how to use chopsticks. Why not try it? They say one of the best way of bringing the currents of the world around to carry you where you want to go, is to “act as if.” Live Japanese now, and who knows what doors may open for you? At the very least, when you get to Japan, you’ll be that much closer to the Japanese way of life.
Those who’ve been there–please comment on how useful/accurate you find this!–Arigato.

This was the clearest video I found. It does have a commercial that you can opt out of before it’s over (at least it did when I tried it).
