Can i go to japan for a month next year?

Question:

Helloo, I'm 16 years old currently in the 11th grade in high school. *and regarding to that i am Australian* i work at a japanese restaurant called gyo, everyone who works there is Japanese. so obviously they speak japanese, i know japanese up to a level where i can read all hiragana.. i have a japanese phrase book if needed. i study every night. and i know basic Japanese. the thing is, i really want to go to japan for a month, i know i will need to save ALOT. but, i have friends in japan who have said i could stay with them. yes i understand that it is an honour to be allowed to stay at a japanese persons' house. though how much money would i need to stay there for a MONTH >.<

Answer:

I don't think they will let you travel alone at 16. You need to go with your parents.
