Recos on historical/cultural sites (excluding shrines)

Hi all, 1st time Japan traveler so pardon my question which might have come up too often. i’m traveling to Japan, specifically Osaka Kyoto and Tokyo next week (in that order, with 2-2-7 days dedicated respectively). places steeped in historical/cultural significance are always right up my alley, but sadly shrines dont really intrigue me that much so i’m canvassing for off-the-beaten-track recos up here 🙂

would be great if yall can recommend places (aside from major museums) that can lend me glimpses into the history (through different phases even better) of this country. i love reading museum labels and stuffs so places that have English descriptive labels/materials or the likes would be fantastic.

many thanks in advance 🙂
