The article begins, in part, with:
Japan is a land of astonishing contrasts. From antiquated temples and kimono-clad geisha girls hurrying between traditional tea houses in Kyoto, to lightning-quick bullet trains carrying sharp-suited businessmen between the high-tech cities of Tokyo and Osaka, Japan is a country where the past meets the future.
One misplaced view is that Japan’s position as the world’s third richest nation makes it an expensive holiday destination. In reality, it can be cheaper to travel in Japan than in most parts of North America and Europe. The “Land of the Rising Sun” is a destination like no other; offering heritage and history one day and hi-tech city living the next.

I've read that Fukushima still has fatally high radiation levels, but the rest of Japan are below cancer-causing levels. So is it safe to visit Japan considering the radiation issue?
Japan looks like a beautiful place to visit. I have also heard that it is very expensive to visit as a tourist. Any tips on finding good and affordable accommodation?
Japan is safe. The radiation problems are confined to the Fukushima area.
As for finding accommodations, try the Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO).
