Remember to take off your shoes.
Wash *before* getting into the bathtub. Don't empty the tub when you're done.
Don't wear the toilet slippers outside the toilet room.
Bring a gift.
Googling for "Japanese etiquette" will help but they probably won't hold it against you if you make some minor breach.
Back on the topic of food, I should emphasize that following businessmen to their favorite establishments will often get you really good food (the chains are fine but some family-run places are amazing). Some small places are more expensive than they should be but prices should be posted in front.
