It's going to be tough to travel as much as you want given the short amount of time you are there. Personally, given your timeline, I'd stick to Tokyo for the first leg and Kyoto for the last. Try to connect to your departing flight in Narita from Kansai in Osaka rather than taking the train. It will be much easier and faster than going back through Tokyo (assuming you are flying out of NRT).
If you do want to go to Osaka, you can stay there and do Arashiyama in Kyoto in a day, but there's a lot more to the Kyoto (the Gion district, markets, food, shopping) that you'll miss. If you want a more "traditional" Japanese experience, I'd nix Osaka and stay in Kyoto. I think you will get a good balance of the old and new splitting time between Tokyo and Kyoto.
And yes, see my note above about Robot Restaurant. It's worth it if you stay in the area.
- I agree with tokyo / kyoto.
But try to arrive in haneda instead of narita, is closer to tokyo.Miguex - I'd say take the bullet train/ shinkansen to kyoto, would be crazy to go to japan and not ride the bullet train, it's only 2.5 hs and its a nice trip!Miguex
- It's hard to find a US flight that goes to Haneda.johndiggity
