Had more free time than at home so I could go out, eat, and travel more! Japan is amazing and you would miss a lot if you only studied all day (as the Japanese expect you to do ;)

Get a copy of the Tokyo Classifieds from places such as Tower Records. It is a free magazine for foreigners in Tokyo and people who are going back home advertise anything and everything for sale. It can sometimes be a hassle to get to the person's place to pick up whatever you buy - but it's so cheap that it's worth the effort.

Not many ATMs accept foreign VISA cards. Look for Citibanks ATMs - they accept them!
