If not tokyo university, what other good universities are there? Will where i live depend on where i go to college? What are the difficulties of attempting to live in Kyoto or Tokyo or some other city in Japan? what's it like living in an area of Japan that ISN'T a city? is it like remote china or is it like traditional country-side japan?

University of Tokyo? Err you need to be einstein to get into that place. Before you even thinking about going to a Japanese university, you need JLPT 1 (especially for top tiers), full stop and JLPT 1 is not something you can cram in a year.
You can get into Tokyo University via 2 methods,
1. General Admission (compete with other Japanese student)
2. 外国学校卒業学生特別選考 (If you can't read this, you can forget it)
I think it is too late for you to be admitted to a university in Japan full time. Exchange is the best way and Japan's country side is quite clean but there is not much there (like any other country side).
And people, if you going to move to Japan (and not teaching English), please consider Japan's economic situation first. -12% annualised GDP decline is very scary but hopefully it will turn around soon.
