I went a couple of years ago for about two weeks to Tokyo and Kyoto with a Bullet Train past Mt. Fuji in between. It was the best experience of my life.
(copy and paste what 'sly' has previously said here as I concur with what he says)
It's not such a different culture, but things over there are subtly different and they are more reverential of the past. The temples and palaces were beautiful, expecially in the rainy February that I went.
If you need travel tips let me know...
