How far are you willing to travel out from Tokyo, and what kinds of things do you like doing?

Looking into the logistics, but it would really be a balance of time and cost. With three weeks I intend to spend at least three or four days travelling to somewhere more far flung.

My more niche interests would be that I'm a fucking weaboo, so akihabara etc are of interest, and also criminality, gangs, and police are a speciality, so I plan on visiting some of the more tasty parts off the beaten track.

Like the comment below said, I would recommend looking into a Japan Rail Pass. I also highly recommend going to Osaka. The atmosphere of the city is great, and there's some great doujinshi and figurine stores there too. You could also make a daytrip to Kyoto, since they're so close. Not sure when you're going, but Arashiyama in Kyoto is a beautiful place to go to in the fall, because of the leaves that turn red (think it happens sometime in November). I don't know much about gangs and the like in Japan, but that certainly sounds interesting! Where are you planning on visiting?
If it's something that interests you, I'd also really recommend going to an onsen. There's some good ones close to Tokyo, like Kusatsu

For Tokyo, I also recommend going to the Metropolitan government building in Shinjuku (you can see an amazing view of Tokyo including the Tokyo Tower and new Skytree for free, and there's usually never lineups), and one of the food basements of the big department stores like Isetan or Takashimaya.
Anyways, I hope you have fun!

Should be going mid January.

The Japan rail pass is basically their equivalent of the oyster card system we have in London right?

And I've heard interesting things about the night life in Kabukicho and Roppongi.

Japan Rail Pass: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2361.html Think it can be used on almost all JR lines in Japan. Traveling by train is pretty expensive there, especially by long distances, which is why I think it's a good offer for tourists. And you can use it for the Shinkansen! Although it's certainly your own judgment if it would be cost-effective.
I think Japan pass cards, like the Suica and Pasmo would be similar to the Oyster card system?
I've also heard that the night life in Kabukicho and Roppongi is fun, although I've never experienced it myself. Sounds like it will be so much fun!
