This is not the place to ask. The only answers you get will generally be pooled ignorance on a topic as important as this. Check the CDC or go to a travel clinic.

I know for a fact one can go to Japan and South Korea without any extra documentation than a passport and a visa, though photos will be needed for visa processing.

No immunizations needed, but some kinds recommended.

It will be recommended to have your standard imunizations up to date:
MMR, DPT, and a good idea to have Hep A, Hep B.

You will need a visa to enter China. The rest are visa waiver countries for you (30-90 days for tourism).

China needs 1 passport sized photo for the visa application. You will also need to have an application form filled in.

Make sure you have additional ID and a couple photocopies of your passport (in case your passport gets lost/stolen). It will make getting new travel documents much easier if you have copies of your passport and ID or better yet, scans that you e-mail to yourself and can print off if needed.

I think that covers most of your questions.
