How much Japanese should I know for traveling to Japan?
Sometime in the future I would like to go to Japan.

However, i'm not sure how much Japanese I really need to know.

I am acquainting myself with important terms and vocabulary, such as:

departing and arriving at the airport
taking the bus, train, or subway
terms of endearment and politeness
how to ask for an item and how much said item will cost

What else are some important things I should know?

Answer

I think you've covered the important areas.  Being polite is a big deal so remember to say "sumimasen, onegaishimasu and arigatou".  As a tourist, I've traveled to Japan 5 times and in the beginning those 3 words were so helpful in every situation.
