Apart from the bouldering what do people have as there "must do's" for a trip to Japan?

Must do's in Tokyo (I visit once or twice most years): my favourite places are 1. Shibuya crossing 2. wandering around Shimokitazawa at night - studenty drinking district - and 3. the view from the exit from the elevator at the New York Grill level of the Park Hyatt (actually eat there too if you can but you can always just check the view then reverse). But almost everywhere in Tokyo is pretty compelling if you have not been before.

I have never lived there so Tom or Jonas could answer with more credibility. But I have thought a lot about it. I don't fancy living in Tokyo or another big Japanese city now as it is just too much hassle with family etc and physcially hard to escape at weekends. Rural Japan might be OK, especially Hokkaido.
be prepared for a bit of a culture chock.
