Visited three cities - Tokyo(4 days), Sapporo(2 days) and Kyoto(4 days).

Overall it was an incredibly fascinating experience and a great culture shock -- everything runs perfectly to the minute, the last mile connectivity of public transport is fantastic, never took a single cab despite carrying luggage. The food is to die for, and the amount of effort and care the chefs put into making it very clearly translates into how good it is.

The 7/11, Lawson experience was incredible too, it is beyond me how the food there is so fresh and tasty!
