Dorothy Hoobler has some historicals (I think. They might be mysteries) set in Japan. I also haven't read any of these.
There are a lot of manga series set in present day or historical Japan. I'm not sure how much information one would get about the culture from those. Some of them have had details altered in translation to make them more American.
