What exact dates?
How many days?
What are your interests?

This lists many sightseeing places and ranks them:-

Most people would probably do Tokyo and then Kyoto. Maybe include Hakone or Kawaguchiko for a stay in a ryokan/onsen and to see Mt Fuji.

There are numerous nice day trips from Kyoto or Tokyo as explained on each of the city guide pages:-

After that it really depends on interests, number of days available and exact dates.

Enjoy your trip!

August can be very hot, but there are many exciting festivals and the gardens and nature are all quite pristine and beautiful.

Although Tokyo is popular, a lot of the best festivals are outside the Kanto area.

Some August Festivals and Ceremonies that I know of:
-Hiroshima: Memorial Ceremony (Aug. 6)
-Okayama: Korakuen Garden night light-up and Momotaro Festival (early August)
-Tokushima: Awa Odori (Aug. 12-15)
-Kochi: Yosakoi Festival (Aug. 9-12)
-Uwajima: Bull Sumo (Aug. 14)
-Kyoto: Daimonji-yaki Festival (Aug. 16)
-Aomori: Nebuta Matsuri (Aug. 2-7)

In August Japanese people tend to avoid hot town area such as Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, so that you might be able to find affordable lodging in nice hotels. Or you might want to go where locals go: Hokkaido, beach resorts in Okinawa or mountain area in Nagano prefecture. Anyway, as GC3 states, what dates in August? In general tourist spots are less crowded after 15th August.

Enjoy your honeymoon in Japan!

Thank you everyone. It is so generous of you to help me in this.
We are planning to visit Japan on 3rd of August and return on 12th August.
Is this good time for us to visit Japan? Or should we change our schedule?
Please suggest.
