Hi folks,
just wanna gather some info about Japan as I have no idea.
I'll be there in late August. What kind of accomodation do you
recommend travelling as a couple?
What are must see in the area and what to do for nightlife?

See my Japan travelogue:

You didn't mention what your budget is, but essentially there is decent
accomodation in hotels starting at 6000-8000 yen/night. You can however
easily spend more than that.

August should be very hot.

I would skip Osaka and Kobe and instead focus on Kyoto and Nara. You
might spend half a day or so in Osaka however. The castle in Himeji is
nice (doable as a day trip from Kyoto by shinkansen).
