If you make it to Kyoto, you have a lovely half-day in Arashiyama. Put your name down in the morning for a spot at Steak Otsuka. Explore the Bamboo forest and proximate Unesco world heritage sites until it's your time to have some of the best beef you'll ever taste.

Save it for next time. More than enough for you to do between Tokyo + the Aman resort. You'll walk away from the Kyoto day trip exhausted and wishing you had more time to spend there, imo. You'll be back :D

Yes hah deleted the cast right after. We will just have to come back! Do you live there or just visit often?

Just visit often - have considered the move over, and haven't ruled it out, but some stars would have to align, and I've heard it can be isolating. That said, I'd still love to spend a few years there.

Should we learn some basics in Japanese before we go? (And any tips to do that? I feel like Duolingo is just a game and I never retain anything)

You'll meet some incredibly friendly people, and you'll also inevitably be discriminated against. Learning basics won't prevent the latter, but they'll enhance your interactions with the former. Putting 2-3 hours of time into watching some YouTube videos to pick up hello/goodbye/thank you is all you'll need this time.

Don't overthink it. With regard to getting around; Google Maps will be your best friend, English signage is prevalent, and the Google Translate photo/image thingy will take you far.
