I think I want to see the cherry blossoms, historical cities like Kyoto, modern marvels for a few days, quiet coastal/countryside/village, and some mountain viewing. Does the Kansai area offer all this? What about getting away from the throngs of people and tourists? Kyushu is recommendable? I think I stay away from Hokkaido since it's too cold. Is this too much for 14 days? I'm thinking it might be.
Your advice would be much appreciated. Cheers,

14 days will be enough yes. And kensai does offer everything you ask for. Kyushu is a good place to start, you can probably track east from Kyshu, make stops at Miyajima, Himeji then Osaka/Kyoto/Nara.
It will be hard to "get away from the tourist", but since you are not traveling during golden week, you avoided the crowd already.
If you stay in Kensai for all 14 days, it will be a really relaxed trip. You can probably drop by Tokyo area for a few days too, definitely, don't miss Yokohama.
I am not familiar with Kyushu myself, as far as I know, there isn't much to see, lot of food and nice onsen though...
