Tokyo itself is different from the rest of Japan. I think a lot of people in Tokyo are there for jobs, school, business, and are a little closed off compared to the rest of Japan. I think people in Tokyo look at foreigners like "Tourists" or not "Tourists" . Kind of a necessary pain, they need tourism, but tourists can be annoying.
Places like Osaka are a lot more sociable, and you will get Japanese interacting with you because they hosted the 1976 EXPO I believe, and they loved that tourism, but most of it never really stayed after the EXPO because Tokyo gets so much exposure worlwide, they end up losing tourism to the Capital City. BUT, i do believe Osaka has recently won their bid to host EXPO once again and are very excited about it. I hope it works out for them and they make it a great success.
There's also places like Okinawa, that's a tropical paradise and is a much safer and more beautiful stay than just about any other tropical resort in the world. The Islander's are very laid back and friendly, and one of the longest lived people in the world, maybe you can find out their secrets while visiting!
Japan's a big place! Don't miss out on anything!

I made several mistakes. I wasted my first night in Tokyo staying in a capsule hotel in Shinagawa because I thought I would be wrecked after I got off the long flight at Haneda airport. I should gone to Ueno, or stayed 2 nights in Ryokugo (my second night in Japan) which leads me to mistake #2, I tried to schedule too much stuff back to back my second day in Tokyo and was late for my second appointment, which threw off the rest of the day completely. Mistake #3 was staying in Osaka 2 days instead of 1 day/night, I should have stayed in Hiroshima 3 days. Hiroshima is magical unless you're the type who loves NYC you will probably love Osaka. Mistake #4, I wasted my last day going to the hotel in Chiba because I thought it was going to be close to Narita airport. My flight the next day didn't even leave until 4:30 PM and Chiba was far enough away I think I could have easily stayed in Euno one more night. I spent most of my 16 days in Tokyo and split the first week in between Hiroshima, Kyoto, Nara and Osaka. Also don't forget Yokohama hotels if you plan to see the Kamakura Buddha and still want to hit some of Tokyo later that day, it's close enough to do Kamakura in the morning, hit nearby Tokyo in the early afternoon then come back to Yokohama to sleep. If you do the research, I think you'll find a lot of hybrid locations like that can work for you depending on what you want to do.

hey now! My sister-in-law OWNS a 7-11 in Tskubamira! lol so we 'eat' there like all the time! For us foreigners, it's odd to have such amazing food at a "gas station"
Here, I would not eat it, even if was free!
Been blessed to travel from Fukushima all the way to Tskububa, Nikko, Fuji, Toyko, Kyoto, Yokohama, even Sakurajima and Hiroshima! I think, like here the USA, most big cities are over-rated, the 'same'. Kyoto, Nikko, Sakurajima, Hiroshima are more like traditional Japan..they are all different and super unique and special.
