Where in Japan would be a good place for a foreigner that in his teens/ early 20's to visit? I know that Shibuya is supposed to be popular among the youth culture in Japan, but is there any more "scenic" spots?

That's quite a vague question. It all depends on the person and what they are interested in. Japan is an amazing and beautiful place, why not look through this site and see what grabs your attention. I first went to Japan in my early 20's and toured all over not just shibuya

well, let's see. Some things that interest me are beaches, electronics, theme parks, music, etc. Somewhere within the cities of Tokyo and Kyoto. My main interest is getting to know about the culture I guess. I also want to be able to talk with other Japanese people freely.

Shibuya: Flashy fashion and Saturday night street musicians
Ura-Harajuku, Daikanyama: Low-key fashion and cafes
Akihabara: Electricity and Otaku
Kichijoji: Big park, little shops and bars
Odaiba: Bayside fairground and game archade
Note that alcohol is legal only for those 20 and over, but most bars allow high teens in as long as you don't drink.

in Tokyo I would add Asakusa and Yanaka for a look at old fashioned areas. Anyone in its late teens-early 20s should likely be interested in history and culture or, at the very least, in something that looks different from the stereotypical views foreigners get of Tokyo from movies.
