Tokyo is a huge, built-up metropolitan area. One of the more outlying areas of Greater Tokyo is Edogawa-ku. There is a wonderful ryokan(Japanese style guesthouse), called "Ryokan Toki". This area would qualify as rural since it is only accessible by bus.
However, if you venture into Ibaraki's Ushiku, you can visit and enter the Amida Bhudda. This bhudda is the largest in the world, and has been entered into the Guinness book of world records. You can reach this area in a few hours from Tokyo. This statue was finished in 1995, stands 120 meters tall, and is located in such a rural area that there is nothing else there. To reach it, you must take a bus and taxi from the nearest trainstation.

Within Tokyo proper, Chichibu would be about the only area that could be considered rural.
