Sweetwater,
you've got the main things. Make sure you visit some onsens (hot springs). Heaven. They are usually quite cheap, and often have gorgeous outdoor baths where you can relax in a hot soaking tub and enjoy the view. And visiting a few is a way to get yourself off to some out-of-the-way villages etc as they are often natural springs up in the mountains. Just remember to wash and rinse before you get in the tub.
