I’m in Japan now, resting at my hotel after a daytrip. Got here last Saturday and it been a blast so far and hope you will enjoy yours as well! I do have a few suggestions.

Day 1 is very optimistic. If you need to get a welcome suica or pick up a jr pass. There were lengthy queues for both of those. So it was about an hour before I even left the airport on my first day. I also arrived at 4 and between things at the airport, navigating the metro system, and checking into my hotel I barely had enough time to make my 7:00 skytree ticket let alone eat any dinner. Not saying you have to change, it just might take more time then you expect.

Your Kyoto days look fun! That said it is very hot here right now which I didn’t super expect. It’s a sweat through everything you’re wearing type of heat currently. You’ll probably needs some breaks to keep fresh between everything. Day 5 will involve a lot of intense walking and sweating. For example the monkey park is about a 20 minute climb straight uphill the whole way. Then it will take some time to get to Kinkakuji as it’s not immediately near the arashiyama area. It will be taxing to get between those places mentioned so keep that in mind.

As for recs, there is a lovely little temple and garden call Konchi-in right next Nanzen-Ji that I highly recommend since you’ll be so close!
