Granted I drove, but Twin Ring felt like it was in somewhat rural farmland / mountain area. I don't know about plentiful taxis. Haha.
Have fun, dude. Buy a Suica card (from the kiosk that says SUICA on it, there is an english button in the top right of the screen) when you get in and use that for pretty much all of your train / subway rides. Pay the extra for the Skyliner tickets to get into Tokyo from the airport (if you're flying into NRT). Google maps works really, really well for train routes -- keep in mind that some trains are 'local' and make every stop on the line, some are commuter (skip some stops), and some are express (skip all but major stops). You really don't want to deal with taxis unless you want to be a baller, they are really expensive and it's frankly a lot quicker to walk / train ride.
Where in Tokyo are you staying?

Has nobody mentioned UPGarage yet??
It is used car parts paradise... Last time I was there I saw an s2000 mugen exhaust for 600 bucks... that I am still kicking myself in the ass for not getting.... They are usually slim on S2000 stuff, but I'm sure you'll find something cool, or at least enjoy looking at all the used JDM seats and GTR bodykits and such
Super Autobacs is a car accessory store that used to be amazing back when Japanese car culture was big about 10 years ago. Mugen and Nismo shift knobs, Recaro seats to sit in, etc. Last time I went last year one had a bit of a museum within the store with a 2000GT, S600, Mazda Cosmo, etc. Not a lot of cool parts to buy there though. Another great stop is book-off. Pick up some Honda Style and Option magazines for cheap. And off topic, but be sure to go to at least one department store bakery deli. Enjoy yourself and let us know how everything went!!
