I persoinally beleive that to really travel Japan, Tokyo shouldn't be your focus. Instead you should spend more time in places that is filled with more culture and history, so yes Kyoto will be a good choice. Osaka offer almost everything that Tokyo has to offer, plus good food. Yokohama, along the bay area has a lot of historic background that you can investigate into

I agree with Godwine, I'd visit the Kansai area (Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, etc) instead of Tokyo. Much more variety and historical places, hiking, etc.
For clothes, bring what you want and do laundry when it gets dirty. If you are small enough you can even buy more clothes there.
There are lots of non-seafood Japanese food... look for donburi, tonkatsu, kara'age, yakisoba, etc.
Snowboarding is best somewhere in the Japan Alps.
