Osaka it’s just fun to wander and eat your way down all the covered shopping arcades so if it’s bad weather head to the shopping arcades or the aquarium on that day.

27th may: den den town? Universal studio?
28th may: toei kyoto studio park? It is a nice half day park that brings you right back to edo period, they use this studio for filming samurai movie (and yes sometimes when you visit, they will ask you to stay quite since they might be filming) which is really cool
Tokyo: ikebukuro?
I dunno about putting nakano broadway onto the last day, you might get some cool manga or figure that you might like in one of 4 mandarake stores, and that will be some hassle to open your baggage again to fit in those things. I usually put my last day for don quijote or daisho so I can buy souvenirs for my friends and family (and out it in my hand carry bag since it is usually food that can break)
