Itinerary Check – 8 days in Tokyo

Me and two of my friends are going to Tokyo for 8 days and 7 nights in October. Staying in Shinjuku. I have planned out an itinerary after prioritizing the places we want to visit, mainly prioritizing attractions that need reservations. Other than that we're there for food, shopping, site seeing and some night life. I feel like I've packed too much for each day since I'm trying to plan as much as I can in the areas we visit. While planning, I have considered commute time/distance whether by public transport or walking. I need opinions about whether or not this is do able with out feeling too rushed, or if and what I should remove so we can take time to explore. Also we have not made reservations for the attractions since they're not open yet. Please let me know what you think!
