Which brings up another question... what sort of things do you want to see? The new modern stuff, of the old traditional things?
If the modern parts of Kyoto are hard to ignore, you might like Takayama. It's much less significant than Kyoto historically, but is better preserved - as a whole - than Kyoto is (Takayama is a small town).
If you'd like to fly about to several places, look into getting a Japan Rail Pass (you have to buy them outside of Japan - you can't buy them within the country), which would enable riding the Shinkansen (bullet) trains wherever.
If you're into modern city stuff, there's plenty to see in Tokyo, etc.
