2 week Rough Itinerary First Time Solo Japan Traveler (March 12-28 2025)

First time going to japan and I'm going solo. My itinerary is down below. Please let me know if theres anything you would change so it could flow better or reccomendations. My itinerary includes a lot of places I'm interested in seeing it's not a set list of mandatory events, but I like having a lot of options so I'm not aimless during my trip. I don't want to travel like I'm checking items of checklist.

Interests: I'm interested in experiencing the japanese culture. I'm really excited for the food I like some anime, video games, would like to bring home souvenirs. Also enjoy nature and seeing scenic views. If theres a chance to see Mt. Fuji clearly I'd move something around to view it.

Questions: Is my itinerary to packed will I have moments to relax?
