Answer:

Although the 'problem' is your need to study in Japan, your whole ramble is more related to a personal problem than it is to Travel/Japan. Along those lines, I wouldn't wait until the last minute to let her know about this. That's a wimpy thing to do. Let her know your plans and work things out. Sounds like you are about 18 so keep in mind that most relationships at that age simply do not last.
