Congrats on the move to Japan! My employer has seen fit to send me to a few cities in Japan to meet with NTT DoCoMo, and I've always had opportunities to play tourist. Since you're there for quite some time, and will have ample opportunity to tour around, I'm sure you will hit all the highlights. But let me say, don't miss the Yasukuni Shrine in Tokyo; I am sure you are familiar with the controversy about the shrine. It is very interesting, but you might find yourself the only non-local visiting. And don't miss the nearby WWII museum (not called WWII there), which has quite a...different...interpretation of events. Best of Luck, and enjoy.
