Tips please: what not to miss in 3 wks Japan?
-----------------------------------
Hi!

We are very excited about our three week trip to Japan, starting in Tokyo (Nov. 6th) and ending in Osaka (Nov. 28th).
The only thing planned are the first 4 days in Tokyo... after that all is open.

It seems to be a country with endless opportunities, and we'd love to see it all but we only have three weeks (this time ;-).  So we decided to just really enjoy what we can without rushing from one place to another all the time. 
Because we are heading to Japan in Nov, we thought it is probably best to concentrate on the area south of Tokyo?

We are excited about the cities and cultural highlights, but are also into adventurous stuff.
Also it is a much needed holiday from office jobs in cold Amsterdam: where can we relax (in the sun)? Is it worthwhile going down to islands in the south? 
We are both scuba dive instructors (used to work in Thailand and Indonesia). How is the diving down there (in comparison)? 

Also we are wondering whether we should get a 2wk/ 3 wk JR ticket?

We'd love to hear tips: what should we really do?

Thank you so much!
