Aiyuuji, I suggest you get a book like Lonely Planets or Rough Guides. Dont know what you are after, maybe some people in rural areas. You say you want to see the real Japan. Well Tokyo is part of the real Japan. What people suggest you do there are what people there do. You dont want to be an OTAKU, well you'll ge treated like one. If you are after rural villages, well you'll have to head out of the big cities.

Narita Airport is not in Tokyo, its about an hour away by N'Ex train. If you are goin to teach in Yokohama, its best to go stay in Yokohama. and it is fairly close to Tokyo anyway.
