27 day japan itinerary check

 Hi all, I'll be travelling with a mate this December for the first time to Japan. We enjoy shopping, anime/manga, video games, sports, sightseeing and theme parks. Im wondering how doable the trip is, it's mostly a guide I won't necessarily be 100% sticking to it

Any tips on adding/moving/removing things around would be much appreciated, thanks heaps!!
