Yep. I was born there, lived there for several years and even went to school there.
Like any kind of traveling make sure you bring your identification, necessary medicine (OTC and prescription - point is, something your body is already used to), perhaps a English to Japanese dictionary. Purchase some phone cards from the states if you think you'll be calling the U.S. often.
How is Japan? That's kind of asking how the U.S. is - it depends on what area of Japan you're visiting. Tokyo is crowded, busy, expensive, exciting, noisy, fun. Somewhere like, say, Yamagata Prefecture would be full of fields, farms, life is slow, quiet, less people....
Try and ride the bullet train and visit some temples in Kyoto or Nara if possible.
I'm sure you'll have an awesome time there. :)

Actually, I am in Japan right now. I liked it so much I made the big move and made Japan my home. It is so easy for me to live here. I am the type of person that likes to stay under the radar and I can totally do that where I am. The people are warm and friendly. Some of the biggest hearts anywhere in the world. Politeness is a given.
When traveling, be sure you have a schedule, especially if you are going by bus or train. Keep your passport with you at all times and remember to keep it in a very safe place. But most importantly, I think you need to have a plan. It is kind of hard to "wing it" when traveling in Japan.
The culture is so rich so you might want to bring a good guide book with you to make your travels more meaningful.
