Visiting Tokyo in April (cherry blossom season) with my girlfriend. Any advice/tips on etiquette and sights to see?
Just... no. Unless you are throwing money at stippers and eating Mishima steak 5 days a day or drinking $1000 bottles of wine, I'm not sure where you get this from. Even a top meal in the best restaurants in Ginza will only set you back $150-200 apiece. Most Japanese bars will have nomihoudai, which is all you can drink off a set menu for a set amount of time (usually 30 minutes to 2 hours) so even a night of drinking and eating at an izakaya or cheaper restaurant will cost you less than $100.Be warned, Japan is fucking expensive. You can blow through 5k USD with hardly any effort in a weekend.
Go on...Stay out of Roppongi unless you like seedy bars, scams and nightclubs with loose women.
Go to a bar in Roppongi. Pick a girl. The bar sluts are easy to single out. She'll take you home, wash you, fuck your brains out all night, let you sleep as long as you want, feed you breakfast, wash you again, then you will never see her again.Go on...
Ahhh such great memories, I fucking love Roppongi! Avoid the Nigerians and the Iranians and it's a super fun place.Go to a bar in Roppongi. Pick a girl. The bar sluts are easy to single out.

These kinds of girls are the only Japanese girls that groom their nether regions as well.
Fuck, I live like the japanese working class when I go there, workers cafeterias for food 2 meals a day, buses and subways. Only difference is I splurge on a really fancy meals couple times a week, and go out drinking hard every night. I dropped maybe $6K in 3 months last time I was there. I was living cheaper there than I do here,Here is a breakdown of a weekend trip:
2 nights intercontinental Tokyo 500 USD / night
shinkansen roundtrip tickets for 2 to kyoto 600 USD
1 night at a kyoto Ryokan 1000 USD / night per couple (including Kaiseki)
Lodgings and train tickets alone come to 3200 USD
a night out drinking with friends at 3-4 places - 300 USD
a dinner at high end restaurant for 4 (treated 2 friends) with sake 600 USD
thats topping 4000
throw in some shopping, some tourist activities, a few more meals/drinking, you can see how it adds up.
Japan can be done cheaply, but you are right in that you can spend what you want.
Yikes ok, I amend, it's possible if you want to live like a rockstar. Who pays 1000 USD a night for a Ryokan or 500 USD a night for a hotel when you can get 80% of the quality for 25% of the price?Here is a breakdown of a weekend trip:

I used to sit there in one of the schools I worked at, during a typhoon, watching the rain move sideways and bikes tumble down the block. My manager would still say "We can't close till we get confirmation from the head office" or some crap like that. It was pretty insane because some people actually came in that weather.Got blasted by snow in Tokyo yesterday and I had to walk through it 3 times, then my student cancelled. Got paid anyway but couldn't you have fucking cancelled half an hour earlier?
Heavy snow in Tokyo injures 400, paralyses traffic
Ha, my Eikaiwa closes if there's a stiff breeze. If the trains stop, we stop.I used to sit there in one of the schools I worked at, during a typhoon, watching the rain move sideways and bikes tumble down the block.
