Tokyo was really a blast, but I also enjoyed Toyama (in Toyama-ken). It had some really beautiful scenery - on a clear day the mountains (Japan Alps?) were all around off in the distance. It's also near the sea, and while I didn't make it down there, I bet it's awesome to have the sea in front of you and the mountians behind you.

As far as the town itself, I thought there was really good mix of modern stuff and traditional cultural stuff. So I recommend it to anyone who is going to Japan! (or anyone living there who hasn't been)
