2nd time in Japan, big gap in itinerary

Hi all!

I am going to Japan for the 2nd time next January. I will be bringing some friends who have been with me, as well as some friends who have never been. I’ve built up my itinerary as follows but have a huge gap at the end and I’m struggling to find some truly memorable things to do to fill the time.

Tue 14th Jan – Fly in, late night bar near hotel
Wed 15th Jan – Catch a taxi to Oshino Hakkai, have some Dongo, explore the town, etc.
Thu 16th Jan – Fuji Ropeway,Wind/Ice Caves, aokigahara Forest,Convenience store dinner at hostel
Fri 17th Jan – Explore the town, lakes, rivers etc.
Sat 18th Jan – Taxi to Mishima,BTrain to Osaka,dump bags at hotel, explore Dotonbori night life (I’ve been told Saturday night would be a good night for this
Sun 19th Jan – Shinsaibashi,Umeda Sky Building,[Dinner](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Asakusa+Kitchen+Omiya+Grand+Front+Osaka/@34.7038551,135.4940125,19z/data=!3m2!4b1!5s0x6000e68ddf72f549:0xdb78b1e5fa89f84!4m6!3m5!1s0x6000e68bfdc842c3:0x44cc6199c21a8572!8m2!3d34.703854!4d135.4946562!16s%2Fg%2F12lrtdflt?entry=ttu) near sky building
Mon 20th Jan – Pretty much just universal studios
Tue 21st Jan – Nara Deer Park (Early morning so deer are hungry and not tired of people, made the mistake of going at 2pm last time),Kaiyukan Aquarium
Wed 22nd Jan – Nishiki food market,Kyoto pokemon centre,BTrain to Tokyo
Thu 23rd Jan – Disney Sea (I’ve already done Disneyland and preferred Disney Sea, probably one of the few things I’d do twice)
Fri 24th Jan – Enoshima Island day trip, Ichiran restaurant for dinner
Sat 25th Jan – Godzilla restaurant for Lunch,Poker until we go to Shibuya for dinner,Hachiko statue, Explore Shibuya night life (again, I’ve been told saturday night would be the best for this, any suggestions as to where we should go speifically?)

We come back home on Thursday night, 30th of Jan. I’ve already gone to a Mini pig cafe, Otter cafe, most pokemon centres, Akihabara, a maid cafe, Meiji Jingu (Considering going again tbh), team labs, plenty of Tatio arcades and shopping centres / exploring.

I can’t find anything truly mind blowing on the internet that would be worth dedicating a day for. I also can’t find any traditional hot springs that are outdoors, only bathhouses that use tap water, do I have the wrong idea looking for those?

Thanks in advance!
