Need help with itinerary – First trip to Japan, only 8 days

Hi

My 10 year old daughter and I will visit Japan during her short break and I tried to compile my itinerary (with a little help from AI). As a first timer, I’m not sure if this all is feasible. My daughter is used to city trip with lots of walking, so that should be fine. I was just wondering if there is something really special for her age group (like Sloomoo in NYC) which she might enjoy. For her Nara and Universal is a most… any tipps and suggestions on our plan.
