What are you looking for? Temples/historic sites, nature, etc. And how far are you willing to travel?
Taking the scenic train trip around the southern tip of the Kii Peninsula to Nachi Falls and hiking to the 2nd and 3rd falls is a memorable experience. You can also stop at many places along the coast, such as Shirahama beach, Taiji's whaling museum, etc.
And have you ever been to Takayama and the Hida folk village, in the Japan alps? Or the onsen town northwest of Osaka (forgot the name of it right now.)
