I went to Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto over a 3 day break last year, i didn`t even scratch the surface but i did get to see plenty of different sites and got a good enough feel of the place to know what i want to see more of.

From Tokyo to Osaka was an easy 2.5hrs on the bullet train, after that it was local trains and it`s very easy to get around, local knowledge would be really handy though. A trip to Japan for a week you would be able to see several different sides to Japan and maybe it would highlight areas you would like to return to in the future for longer durations.

If you based yourself out of Tokyo you could see a few days in an around here locally and also fit a few days in down south at Osaka / Kobe / Kyoto or Nagoya.
