Tsukiji Fish market - I've been many times but I can't recall the name of the sushi restaurants.
THere an area inside the tsukiji Fish Market that can be considered somewhat like a cafeteria, although they're all individually seperated restaurants.
They have great food there. I recommend you go down there around 6:00AM and look for the sushi restaurant that has the longest line. I remember there's one very good sushi place right by the Yoshinoya inside the fish market.
Sorry I can't give you more details.
Tokyo -
Many varieties. I recommend you go down to Nihonbashi area on a weekday and eat lunch in that area with the business people.
The food quality is very high not to mention on the cheaper side.
Also soba (buckwheat noodles) is good in Tokyo.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soba
Also Sukiyaki is a good dish to have in Tokyo.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukiyaki
And for sure have some Ramen in Tokyo.
There's a station called Ogikubo on the Chuo Line a few stations away from Shinjuku (Moving toward Nakano / Mitaka).
This station is famous for the many ramen shacks surrounding the station. Or you can always take the Tokaido line to Yokohama and visit the Yokohama Ramen Museum.

Oh and if you're feeling adventurous, head on down to Tsukishima and have some Monja yaki.

Kyoto-

And also Tenmusu. Which is shirimp tempura inside a rice ball.
Uiro is also famous in Nagoya. Uiro is like red-bean jelly. (Dessert)

Also Hiroshima Momiji Manju is cosidered a regional dessert dish.
Also if it's in season, do yourself a favor and have some oysters.

As you will probably make a visit to Shibuya or Shinjuku, like most people do I suggest you try out Za Watami, or Watamin. These are known as Izakaya, a place to eat drink and have a good time. They can seat parties from 4 to 20. They even have English menus for those who may not read Japanese. We usually go to Za watami and have little parties
Other intersting places to eat that serve Japanese food, but have a very distinct and different theme of decor:
青龍門 or Seiryuumon (the Blue Dragon)
http://www.soho-s.co.jp/seiryumon/index_fs.html
it is actually a Chinese restaurant. You will not be dissappointed at all with the interior and atmosphere.
Christon Cafe - Yes a Christianity themed restaurant. Strange but nothing offensive or sacriligeous at this place.
http://www.ug-gu.co.jp/restaurant/shop/christon.htm
Whenever we have colleagues and friends visiting, we usually go to these places above.
All places above are opened until the wee hours in the morning. Usually 0400 or 0500.

Osaka is a city like Tokyo, yet with extra subculture. Plus they have great community foodstuff and Osaka fortress (thoroughly refurbished, has an elevator and each thing, yet nevertheless quite). Kyoto (the previous capital of Japan) is the place i'd spend the main time although. there are maximum of alluring previous homes and temples there. that's the placement jap themselves take trip trips to. it is likewise between the few places in Japan that wasn't bombed to smitherings throughout WWII. additionally close to Kyoto is Lake Biwa and Himeji fortress. be valuable to get a Japan Rail pass. For a collection cost it supply you limitless return and forth on maximum jap trains. you will desire to purchase it in the previous you depart for Japan.

For Shinjuku, I'd say Jiro. They also have a second location in Roppungi.
