Another +1 for the JR Pass. Lets you use pretty much all the smaller trains and some of the Shinkansen.
We did a few days in each of Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, and Yokohama, then back to Tokyo.
If you've got any tattoos then be aware you won't be able to go to any of the public baths or onsen. (There was a humourous exchange where one of the hotel staff offered me a sticker sized about 2" square to cover mine up. I had to try and explain that I'd need about 100 of them to cover all of them, which got a laugh at least)
Pocket Wi-Fi was well handy - booked it online, picked up the little box at the airport then dropped it back before we headed home.
We basically just walked everywhere most of the time - had a rough destination in mind then just explored. Loved it and I'd go back there tomorrow if we could afford it.
