4 week itinerary for first timers – Tokyo, Alps, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima & Kyushu

Hey guys I'm planning a trip for me and my friend for late nov to late December. Would love to hear your feedback on it, generally we enjoy shopping, anime, gaming, sports, adventures and food.

Question, is it possible to get tickets to a volleyball game while in japan, or is it impossible without help from a Japanese resident like I've been reading online, thanks!!
