Nature side of Japan?

Hi I started my trip in Tokyo, I’m now in Osaka and heading to Nara, Kyoto and hopefully Okinawa over the course of a month. I’ve enjoyed the big cities so far but I’d really like to experience the more beautiful and nature side of Japan, visiting temples, shrines, and really experiencing the culture? Does anyone have any recommendations of places to visit? Thanks 🙂
