Itinerary check! 22 day trip, group of 5. Tokyo > Osaka (Kyoto/Nara) > Tokyo

Hello! This is our trip we have had planned for a few years now. We’ve had to make a few changes, but we believe this is our final rendition! Group of 5 who are into JDM car scene, anime, and just general sight seeing. 2 of us will be staying for an extra week in Tokyo.We believe we bought everything in advance we need to. JR passes, Sim cards, amusement parks. I have a friend in Japan who is going to take us to Daikoku Futo, Sportsland Yamanashi, drift bang go karts, and possibly more?Are there any festivals during this time? Would love to be able to check one out!

Can I get an eSIM if my iphone isn’t paid off? Jr passes will be bought soon, how do we reserve seats for the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka? Is it at the counter? We also will not be activating these until day 7 when we go to Osaka, do I tell the person at the counter?Where can we buy tickets for fast passes for Fuji Q? It seems like it’s only 72 hours in advance, but where?We plan on visiting the Nissan Museum, how can I schedule a tour? I think it’s reservation only?
