22 days itinerary check for first timers: Tokyo -> Kansai -> Tokyo

Hello!

With my girlfriend, we’ll go for the first time to Japan from 2024/04/18 to 2024/05/10. We planned most things, but we’d like any input on what could be improved.

We’re also trying to find a Ryokan for the 2024/05/06, with a private onsen (or an onsen we can make private by paying). As the prices in Kyoto are kinda high (600+ euros? maybe we didn’t search enough though), maybe going to Hakone for the night (without visiting anything) then continue to Tokyo would be a better idea?

Apologies if there are still some french around.
