Going to Japan!

I am planning a trip to Japan over my summer break. Nice! Keri is coming then, and we were trying to figure out where to go. Originally Thailand was the winner, but it's rainy season there and we don't want to risk it. It's gonna be f'ing hot in Japan too (as it will be in S.K.), but what can you do, that's why they call it "summer break" right?
So I think we're gonna go to Tokyo and Kyoto. There is something called the Fuji Rock Festival going on there when we'll be there...we're looking into going. Over 46 bands from all over the world (including the Chili Peppers and Snow Patrol, yea!) are going to be playing at the base of Mt. Fuji.

If anyone out there has any recommendations for frolicking in Japan, drop a comment.

FYI they don't actually play at the base of Mt Fuji. They used to but one year it was moved because of a Typhoon. Now they play the festival at a ski resort, in a valley at the base of some other mountains.
