I haven't been on the forum in quite some time but ex Londoner here living in Kanazawa, which I somewhat biasedly would whole heartedly recommend visiting, beautiful, incredible seafood and sushi. It's often called little Kyoto, geisha and stuff hanging around the tea district usually.
If you head this way and want a bike, happy to lend mine out if it will fit, 58cm 14bikeco fixed, not ideal for the mountains but does the job!
A friend of mine just did Koya-san a few weeks ago to stay in the Zen Buddhist Temple and said it was intense but a great experience, I can ask him about how he did it if you need some info.
Shopping wise, I haven't really bought any bike stuff since being here but I will say right now is great coming from the UK to Japan because of the weak yen...there are some great savings to be had.
