Just which cities that are tourist friendly.
Tokyo and Osaka will be your one stop shop for bit and pieces of Japan, but to really see it, you will need to visit cities outside of Tokyo. I'd recommend Yokohama, Osaka, Kyoto (Nara as well) and Kobe

There are other more remote cities that you can visit, Takayama and such are good too, but it all depends on what you want to see and do

For architecture, Tokyo area, Osaka and Yokohama for sure
For culture, I'd say oustide cities like Omiya, Utsunomiya, Kinugawa
For history, Kyoto, Nara...

So you need to be more specific, because there are many things available within each of these cities (for examples: Electronics = Akihabara, Cheap Fashion = Takeshita Dori etc etc etc)
