ETA: when I made this post, I thought I'd only have about 7-9 days to travel, but after looking at some things, I realistically could do 2 weeks if I wanted to. While that makes it more worth it to go, that also means I'd probably use Tokyo as a landing pad (since it's cheapest) and then bounce to neighbouring countries. Thanks everyone for the input, I needed the insight and validation. But mostly probably the latter lol.
Long story short, sometimes your life gets turned upside down and I've been presented an opportunity to travel. After refreshing nonstop for the last week and a half (and I know, this is last minute so it's not like anywhere is cheap) it seems like between flight/accommodation prices, how long I can go for, and where in the world I feel comfortable travelling solo, Japan feels like the best option.
I was just in Japan in May and was there for 2 weeks, and with the plethora of last minute tips on this sub, I'm not concerned about what to prepare before I go. I'm just wondering if it's worth it because I realistically won't be able to go for longer than 1-2 weeks.
I'm planning on flying to Tokyo and figuring it out from there.
