I am not sure if I would consider it "Westernized", but to me, outside of the great neon light, its just another big city, a big city that offers what a LOT of other major cities offer. I am not suggesting that anyone should NOT visit it, but don't expect too much out of it, and to me its a like a brief stop every time I go. I would opt out on it next year too if it wasn't for my Fiancee.
I agree Kyoto is a must, never been to Hokkaido before, would love to go, but for me, I still want to go to Kyushu and Shikoku again... I really like the more "relaxed" atmosphere there
