Itinerary check and advice 17 nights in Japan (Tokyo-Kumamoto-Kyoto) (March-April 2024)

Hey, I would love feedback on plotholes in this plan.

info:

The places in (parentheses) are optional

flights are booked into HND, out of KIX

route: Tokyo -> Fujiyoshida -> Sasaebo -> Kumamoto -> Hiroshima -> Kyoto

I pick this route so that sakura have time to start blooming before i go to Kyoto / Yoshino.

I am used to waking up 3-4 am so I plan to go to e.g Fushimi inari super early, ill try to get a hotel in walking distance.

This is my first trip but I will make more trips to Japan, so I am fine with skipping some things.

This is a solo trip.

questions:

is there too much in this itinerary? should I skip some city?

is there too little / too spread out?

is there some place on this route that you think I am missing?
