Just stay in Kansai for the most of it, travelling between Kyoto and Osaka, and then maybe 3 days in Tokyo. Don't miss Nara too. The deers are cute <3 10 days is a bit short, really, as you can easily spend a week just in Kyoto.
Oh, a tip about Nara - there are no trash bins!! None, not even by the vending machines. And forget about littering... they've got their eyes on you.
It'll take you a couple of hours to get to Tokyo from Osaka, I recommend doing it later in the day and just grab a bento on the train as dinner. Once you get to Tokyo, find your hotel, dump your bags and hit the bars!
P.S. If you go anywhere rural knowning the kanji for the place names really helps. There are usually Japanese+English sighs at stations but the English words are often in *tiny* font, whereas the kanji is huge! The trains only stop for a very short amount of time, so you've gotta be ready to get off the carriage the moment it pulls in the station - be sure you check the station name as fast as you can before you get off!
