You mentioned three days in Fukushima. If seeing historical sites is your goal, your time and money would be better spent going to Kyoto...
My main trip to Japan is actually Fukushima, where I have to give a presentation/seminar in Fukushima University. Since I will be in Japan, I might as well take this opportunity to visit my college friend who has been bugging me to go visit her for the last 5 years. I will have to visit my aunt as well in Okinawa and it only seemed fit to go there first.

My friend Kaiyo plans on taking me to Disneyland in Chiba and like you mentioned, is the exact reason why I will be visiting Chiba. So in essence, Tokyo, Chiba and Okinawa are all cities I will be enjoying but Fukushima is my main reason there and since I have 3 days there, I might as well take some time off to go sightseeing. I wish I can see the whole Japan but that will have to be another time.

I will take your advice on Tokyo, I am facinated with historical building and architectures so I always like to sightsee those things.
