Month Itinerary in Japan – Starting in Tokyo

This is the outline I have so far, its very much a work in progress, any advice would be welcomed, I do plan to buy a 21 day JR pass. Any recommendations for the last few days would be great as well. I plan to take the shinkansen to Hakodate, and then to Sapporo, (for the views) but fly back from Sapporo to Tokyo to save time.
I am interested in doing anything really, I’m a huge foodie, and also, can anyone recommend any segway tours in japan? is that a thing? I haven’t had much luck finding them really. Thank you for your time.

  1. For 11/7 you should explore Ueno and Ameyoko market and Akihabara. Takeshita street should be fit in with Shibuya. If you like kitchen stuff Kappa Bashi is also close to Asakusa.
