Plan 2 days in Kamakura, you wouldn't regret it.

3 days in Kyoto was enough for us, but 5 days in Tokyo barely scratched the surface of it, it's so huge and full of interesting stuff to see. Here's your 10 days and you'd wanna go back.

Traveling on your own is fine, get a 14-day JR Pass online now, asap, you can't buy it in Japan. Train system there is the best in the world. When you exchange your pass voucher at Narita airport, buy a Suica electronic wallet card and put some cash on it, like $500, it's a must, you'll need to use it at subway turnstiles and 7-elevens. Plan what you wanna see ahead in each city. Don't worry too much about studying train schedules, just go to the nearest station, wherever you are whenever ready and see a guy at the turnstile or ticket office, there is always a suitable train connection available within minutes. Have a great trip.
