Day 3 – you have things condensed in Taito city and outskirts. Which is fine. But then your making a trip to Minato just for dinner? Rubs me the wrong way, it would be less of a hassle just to eat at one of the thousand restaurants yours right next to.
Everything else looks fine. Cheers to happy pancake brunch! Would recommend a visit to Tokyo Disney in place of day 4. It seems like you already did plenty of shopping day 2/3 and you can easily fit the other stuff in other days.
Try and fit in Harajuku/Omotesando/Takeshita street at some point – probably on day 2 as you’ll already be in Shibuya and it’s a 20 min walk away.
I really enjoyed Shimokitazawa! Daikanyama in Shibuya is nice too if you can swing by on Day 2.
