I did this last summer. 3 months. Japan rail pass is sooooooooooo good, I wish you could get 3 month passes.
I spent the first 3 weeks travelling EVERYWHERE. The next 2 months+ I only got a train twice (pig expensive) and stayed in an apartment in NW Tokyo (Takashimadaira) for a while. Spent most days exploring randomly, picking a new train station or train line and exploring in the hot-ass sun. It was awesome. Hopping from hostel to hostel, and the occasional short-stay apartment.
Takashimadaira is a nice neighbourhood. A few elementary schools and good parks (yes I'm a pedo, yes I'm comfortable with that, no I'd never harm a child) which was nice.
My absolute favourite place in Japan is Fukuoka, where I stayed for sadly less than a week. I didn't see much of Kyushu because I spent so much time exploring its capital. Truly glorious. Also, the lolis in southern Japan are gloriously tanned, which is my fetish. I also like that it's coastal.
Go everywhere OP. I started from Tokyo, headed up north to Hokkaido and then back down across Kansai, along the coast, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima and some other places I don't remember the names of. Hiroshima is nice. Really nice. Kyoto is awesome too. Osaka is like Tokyo, but it feels bigger (even though it isn't)
This christmas I'm going back. Gonna be exploring the rest of Kyushu.
