2 Week Trip Itinerary Review

Hello, I'm planning a 2-week trip with a friend that departs in a couple of days June 15. We just decided to stick to Tokyo and possible day trips from the surrounding area. I am posting here to ask if these day trips are reasonable for us as first-time travelers and any recommendations on splitting or combining day activities. We have an interest in Sightseeing and Anime with me having an additional interest in Military History. 

A couple of questions, are there any places in these planned cities that you would recommend food or activities/sightseeing,

Also are there any war showcase museums like the US Air Force Museum, March Air Field, and USS Iowa Museum In the US that focus on the vehicles/aircraft/Ships used by the military and the history surrounding them. even if I can't visit them during this trip it will be nice to know for when i plan a possible second trip.
