First, around Osaka, assuming you fly into Kansai International Airport.
Kobe, Nara, both easily reachable by JR West's Urban Network. Kobe has delicious beef, Nara is like a different Kyoto but with deer all over the place.
Further along the San-yo coast (west of Osaka), there is the Castle town of Himeji and Hiroshima with delicious Okonomiyaki.
Take some time to visit Miyajima, with its large red tori in the middle of the water.
For the San-in coast on the otherside of the area, see>>21445
If you like somewhere rustic, head across the Seto-Ohashi bridge to Shikoku, where you can visit the 4 very unique cities of each preficture (one of which being the hot springs resort town of Matsuyama), and stop by a famous sex shrine in Uwajima.
Be warned, JR Shikoku trains can be few and far in between in the most remote parts of Shikoku.
