Take the train to Kyoto and visit temples. Then buy a bottle of whiskey from a vending machine and eat okanamiyaki.

first and foremost I would find an interpreter and then walk around with he or she while your there. Then I would check out the city for a day or two and head out to the countryside/outside the city to see the real life. Same can be said of anywhere. Technology capital, you should have some fun just looking at it. ;)

Find two hot-ass Japanese chicks, preferrably 18 to 22 and spend the night with them both, drunk on Saki.

the no.1 thing to make sure you do in japan during your 2 week stay is to goto a 'CAPSULE HOTEL'
like the room used in the movie '5th element' when bruce willis won a trip to 'KLOSTON PARADISE'
try it...oh yeh and get a 'SPECIAL ENDING' in your coffin hotel room!

I fear that getting a "special ending" in japan is something sexual??
is that the equivalent of getting a jenna™ in the states?
oh and how much is compensation dating usually in japan?
Before I hit the ground I need to do a threesome with 2 kawaii japanese chicks

go to the meiji shrine and wait outside the main gates for a college aged girl to approach you and say, "hi, i am from the english speaking society at my school. can i show you around the meiji shrine today so that i may practice my english?" gladly accept.
oh yeah - roppongi too. and kobe steak.

Wow. Not to be a downer or anything, but it seems a lot of people just want to recommend adding one under your belt.
When are you going to come? Try to read up on what kind of festival they will be holding at the time you arrive. There's lots of celebration going on in the summer. Everyone's wearing Yukatas and dancing Obon, some nights you might see a whole street or station closed down just to give room for thousands of attenders in those really beautifully colored parades. It's something you really don't see everyday.
Vending machine alcohol is fun and all, but try an Izakaya out instead. Some like it, some don't. I think it is alright. Go for the experience. Try to get to know some folks there, there's ton of Japanese that wants to talk; they're all drunken.
You should find one with a crowd that fits your age.About the said Roppongi:
Ever seen the movie "The Beach"? Not the best movie, but the deal is kind of the same if you ask me. Well, more or less. Anyways, all those hooligans running around being asses, yeah, Roppongi is that spot but in Japan. Army guys shoulder to shoulder with english teachers that are all here to bend around. Add to that if you will, a heap of foreigners selling massage from Japanese everywhere you go.
It's not my cup of green tea.
But if you absolutely have to go there, check out club Vanilla. The place is not infested with scum yet, and the place is alright. They even have a old bamboo style resturant on the 2nd floor of that club.Now that is just for Tokyo. I don't even know where you're going. But I bet anywhere would be fine. Especially since all the beer vending machines would be there.
If you were to ask me that is.

get out of tokyo.
hire a car for 8,000 yen and go to Izu and Nikko and hakone etc...
but dont do it next week (if you are here) because the Obon holidays are gunna kill the traffic flow in all directions.
(from thursday)
