I am sometimes surprised by people that say "I am taking my first trip to Japan and I am going for a month" or "6 weeks" or even "90 days".

Two weeks would the perfect length of time for a first trip. With two weeks you can do a ton and never have the time to experience culture shock. I think at three weeks or beyond you have essentially "moved" to Japan, and the flight home can seem very far away, which can cause panic attacks and anxiety when in a place a foreign country as different as Japan.
