I will be heading out to Japan shortly for a few weeks. Wondering if anyone has some insights into any interesting places to visit, activities to do, shows to watch, places to eat, day trips, etc. Specifically in and about the surrounding areas of Tokyo, Kyoto/Osaka, Okayama and Okinawa.
Never been there, however it would be helpful to know your interests: would you look more for "relics" of the feudal japan, recent history, pop culture, ...?
