I currently live in Kyoto. I live a few blocks away from kyoto station and kamo-gawa. My recommendation is get to Kyoto/Nara because the cherry blossoms are currently in bloom and they are amazing. Walk along the river. Enjoy the beauty of it while the Sakura's are still around. Go to Gion and drink by the river at night. On Saturday's there is a band as well as a fire dancer all by the river. Everyone is having a great time. Osaka will be great as well. Will probably go there in a few days. I don't frequent it enough to really tell you any good spots. And I have yet to go to Tokyo since I have been living here but I will be there for a few days before going off to Thailand (and then subsequently back to Japan a week later). All I can recommend is that you see as much as you can and really enjoy it. There are sooooooo many nooks and crannies with little shops and bars. It's a gift in itself to just explore. I have run into beautiful gardens in the middle of cities just by getting lost in the alley ways. I would recommend putting anything hobby related off because there is so much to see and experience and ten days is not enough!
But if you must indulge just go to a hard off. You will always find gold there. Or go to Akihabara to really be engulfed in Nerd Nirvana.
