Kyoto is the perfect setting for photographers or just anyone who appreciates the aesthetic beauty in Kyoto.  If you are in Kyoto, you must go to the tourist attractions that shows off the beauty in nature as tea ceremonies, calligraphy, kendo, and flower arrangements.  Most importantly, visit the shrines and the ancient palace.  Lastly, the bullet train tickets to Tokyo from Kyoto are not expensive and only takes a few hours.

If you want to see more of the "historic" side of Japan, you probably want to visit Kyoto. You won't see all the fancy gadgets and electronics that you may associate Japan with, but where it came from. Sadly, modernisation is creeping in fast, so if you want to see the 1000 year old temples and shrines as it is, without high-rise apartments right next to it, I'd suggest you go quick....
