Itinerary Check: 16 Days for a First-Timer (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and more)

Hello! I’m in the process of planning a trip for my father and I that spans most of June (no, weather is not a concern for us).

My days are incredibly ambitious/busy, I know, but I’m not sure what to do about that as an amateur planner, which is why I am resorting to asking for help here.

Main Concern: What should I plan on my travel days? At the moment I don’t intend on adding anything knew, but more so want to know what I already have that could be delegated to those days.

Note 1: The events for each day are not in order of where we will go, as we’re not sure about that yet. Any advice would be extremely appreciated.

Note 2: I am an incoming collegiate runner, so physical intensity is no problem. My father is also in great shape.
