Things to do depends on your main interests e.g temples vs modern Japan etc. Hotels - try and stay in Ryokan (Japanese style hotels) they are very different from western hotels with tatami floors etc Try onsen at traditional onsen places (many to choose from in most parts of japan.
Leave your pre conceptions at the door, relax and let a wonderful country envelope you.

Better to remain with the known stuff, because it makes you feel safe, and safety is nice.
Better not to travel at all.
P.S. Watch Tomr & Jerry instead.
