Have you booked everything already? Two days in Tokyo doesn’t seem like nearly enough. Interesting choice to visit Harajuku and not Akihabara, Shibuya, or Shinjuku… But hey if those are your priorities for Tokyo who am I to say.
If nothing is booked, move day 5 activities to day 6. You are going to be wrecked after days 1-3 so chill on day 4.
Have fun. Teamlabs is great – I deliberately didn’t read much about it so much was a surprise.
I did the Mt Fuji classic route in 2014 with my family. Absolute highlight.
You are going for a very short time. Personally If I was going for a week I’d just stay in Tokyo so I can have a relaxing time, and skip a Kyoto. But I get if this is your only time to Japan you may want to see it and two days there is doable, taxing but doable.
My only other comment is Day 1 sounds like a bit much with Team Labs, your trying to visit 2 areas of Tokyo quite far apart, again I’d probably skip Team Labs as it’s not an authentic Japanese experience and swap it for Shinjuku/Shibuya which doesn’t look to be on your itinerary. If you go to Tokyo and don’t go to those two cities but go to Team Labs you should be immediately locked up as that’s criminal.
