Of course, there's the famous ヒグラシ:
The ウグイス is amazing... sounds like the deepest of deep forests:
and then there's the 尺八. It sounds like the wind. This performance is beyond amazing:
Anyone else got any good sounds?
(any kinds of sounds are welcome, including machine noises or telephone ringtones or the noises of funny flashing things in supermarkets, etcetc)

I'm a big fan of the sanshin, as well as the i-ya-sa-sa percussion singing they do.
I'm not sure I love it really, but the oriental turtle dove, or キジバト is a sound I hear every morning.
The way they talk and sing, and some of the percussion-like shouts, in Kabuki and other theater.
On the train:
"次は京都、京都です。降り口は、左側です。”
Entering stores:
いらっしゃいませ
But yeah, cicadas are definitely among the most defining sounds in Japan.

They still drive them around here.
The sweetest sound for me in Japan is the arrival call for 松本駅,
まつもと～、まつもと～、まつもと～、終着 松本です
If I've been out traveling, that sound means I'm finally back home where I belong.
