If you've never been to Japan before, don't even bother trying to plan for it. the first week is going to scramble you so bad, anything you have on a pre-existing agenda will get flushed right down. You want to see Fuji, you want to ride the mag-lev, you want to see the videogame/technology district in Tokyo, you want to see the countryside.
You can expect to get a few stares. If you're a white person ( I assume) you're likely to be a lot taller than most of the people there, so you'll be easy to find in a crowd (when I went I was the meeting point, "Meet up at the huge white guy at 3").
Also, when traveling such as you are, it's a lot of fun to get the most out of the culture shock by creating a few characters you can slip into. punk rocker, logger, cowboy, hippie, etc. You'll be a big hit at any party you go to if you play up any of the western character stereotypes, get lots of laid!
