15 Day Trip Itinerary Check Dec-Jan

Flying from Taiwan to Japan Dec 21, should be arriving somewhere between 4pm and 7pm at Tokio. Planning on leaving Jan 4 late night.

We are 3 exchange college students who have never been this close to Japan and it's my first time planning a trip.

We would like to be in Tokio for New Years Eve so we can wait for the last days to stay in Tokio and arrive to the Osaka Airport instead. I honestly planned each city individually of what city was next and what day of the 15 it happens, but I will just post it in a possible order, please let me know if you suggest swapping any date. I'll decide based on replies to this post. I know some days won't be enough for all their activies so I please suggest which to skip.

Current plan is staying at Osaka (Daytrips to Kobe-Himeji and to Nara)->Hiroshima (Daytrip to Miyamija)->Kioto->Tokio (Daytrip to Lake Kawaguchi, to Hakone and to Nagoya).

We should be arriving to either Osaka or Tokyo in the evening.

Now for everything except Tokio I have a "planned" route that should work mostly, but since Tokio would go with the New Years week, I'm not sure how to work around that so I just listed some places/activities.
