I went to Japan with my wife in 2014 (backpack). If you know Chinese + English, it's easier to travel by your own, you can manage your own time & budget.
Most of Japan subway station and sign board written in Chinese character (it's Japanese but you can easily understand).

We travelled from Nagoya to Osaka by bus, then JAL (Japanese Airlines) to Tokyo.
From Osaka, we travelled to Kyoto, Kobe and Nara through train.

We really enjoy our trip, plan to go Japan again next year.

Personal Quick Tips :

1. Buy ONLINE your Disneyland/ Disneysea ticket early, so you can skip queue. Also, they have "evening weekend" ticket that slash the price by 50% (I bought it in 2014 trip). For those just want a quick trip to Disneyland, this ticket will help you save $$$

2. Buy Kansai Thru Pass if you plan to travel within Kansai Region (Osaka-Kyoto-Nara-Kobe). It will help you to save $$$ (depend on your travel pattern, personally I save about 35%).

3. If you love to stay longer in Osaka, please check "Osaka Amazing Pass" (transport + entrance ticket included).

4. If you travel from Osaka to Tokyo, please check the following option (besides Bullet train) :

- JAL (Japanese Airlines) ~ I got my 50% discount in conjunction of their special season & early bird)
- Normal train ticket buy in advanced ~ you will get huge discount + complimentary drink

5. If you would like to travel by bus, besides JR Express, you also can consider Willer Express. All Willer Express ticket can be booked online and it's cheaper than JR.
