I've been planning a month-long trip to Japan with my sister and my soon to be wife. We have already planned out quite a few things we want to do, but if this was you, what would you want to see or do? Keep in mind that we're all rather old (I'll be turning 50 shortly).

Try an onsen if you like cultural stuff. Read up on it before. There's a definite routine. BTW: You'll be naked and there are likely female workers wandering through the baths. (50 is not "rather old.")
