I think for Kyoto 3 days could be enough... I will send you list of all things to see, and I have friend there too - and, around Kyoto there is Osaka, Hiroshima and Miyajima which are worth seeing.. anyway, I will show you (or point you at) things around Tokyo and all the cool places tourists usually don`t find
I`ll send you my e-mail address so feel free to ask whatever

we are still making planes about our big trip
Tokyo and Kyoto will visit for sure, Osaka sounds nice and it's near Kyoto but I found Hiroshima and Miyajima a little bit far away 
But maybe you know, if there is any ultra rapid train to go there very fast from Tokyo or Kyoto?
The major problem is nobody of our 4 speaks japanese and I heard very few Japanese knows english. My idea was take my little macbook and use spanish-japanese automatic traductor if we are in troubles with conversations 
First thing, is to find a hotel or apartment for staying and then, planning what to visit
What do you know about public transport in Tokyo? What's faster and more effective, trains or busses or metro? <-- that's the first one

first of all sorry for late reply -
public transport in Tokyo - trains are the best, and (trust me) quite easy to use. same as metro, but goes above ground, which is cool, since you can see a lot
do not worry about not speaking Japanese. of course that most of tourist do not know single word, and still, they are all safe and not lost around Japan
there must be super speedy train to Hiroshima from Kyoto. shinkansen (bullet train) connects all major cities. but it might be also super expensive. good way to travel are also night buses

oh don't worry about late reply - it's really not late for me few days, no worries
first, thanx and 
I read there is a one/two week ticket for majority of transport media: metro, buses and trains. Quite expensive (about 200 euros) but if we will traveling a lot and if a bullet train is included - I'd buy it
anyway, this weekend I arrange a meeting with my friends to look exactly what they want to visit and where we are going to stay
