(very early) October-November itinerary check

This will be our second trip, plane tickets are not booked yet. Wanted to make sure there’s no glaring issues with this plan before I go ahead and get the plane tickets!

2 adults, did the major sights in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto last year. Trying to do more exploring and less specific planning this time, but open to suggestions!!

Food enthusiasts, i love coffee, he loves video games, and we both like anime and sightseeing. Thank you in advance for any advice or suggestions!!
