I had memorised the Kanji for a couple of places that I went to frequently, to make it easier to get around. (Some of the smaller stations don't have english maps, and even in the larger ones it beats having to look for the english map)
This I did by coming up with an associated image for each Kanji
So Tokyo
東京
became "Elephant in a mask, elephant wearing a beret", or Elephant mask, elephant beret for short.
and Shinjuku
新宿
became "Lamppost Monster, Karaoke Robot"
So, back in Shinjuku for a day or so, I did a bunch of souvenir shopping, ate at my favourite 24 hour Sushi restaurant a couple of times, and then caught the bus to the airport (the NEX doesn't currently stop at the new terminal 3, which is where Jetstar has been banished to).
