I've been to NYC, DC, and Dallas. Not sure how much more chaotic Tokyo would be than those? I expect the people can't be any more rude than the people of NYC.

It's not just rudeness, though. Try to imagine navigating NYC except that most of the street signs aren't in English, you cannot understand what people are saying, nor can you make yourself understood easily. Also keep in mind that public etiquette is very different in Japan than it is in the U.S., and if you know nothing about it, you'll be misinterpreting other peoples' actions as well as being unaware of your own mistakes.

I don't wish to discourage you. Traveling in Asia can be a very rich and rewarding experience, but going in blind assuming you'll be fine in a big city in Asia because you've been to NYC is... perhaps a little naive. It's alarming to me because you don't appear to understand that cultural differences make a huge difference and the mental expectations you have might not match up with reality. If you go, I strongly encourage you to read up on guidebooks, watch some documentaries, google tips about Japanese culture, things like that.
