Help me with our 15 days in Japan

Morning Folks

I am taking my other-half in Japan, is her first time, I've been there already 6\7 years ago.

Couple of information about us, main attraction would be food and culture. First week will use Osaka as a sleeping base, and then move to Tokyo.

What I need from you is a couple of answers:

1) Is it worth, as per my itinerary, go until Sendai\Aomori, or should we dedicate more days to Tokyo and don't waste all that time on trains, maybe can do a north Japan trip another time.

2) are there any festivals during my stay( 23 sep-10 oct )? I searched online but nothing near out itinerary. We are too late for Sumo as well 🙁

3) How to get a spot in some nice underground live concert? i heard crazy stories about them, i would like to experience it.
