11 day trip- Tokyo, Mt. Fuji, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara

Hi, i'm planning a trip to japan in the first week of july with my parents (50s) and brother (20s). We plan to cover Tokyo, Mount Fuji, Kyoto and Osaka. I am posting here to ask if these day trips are reasonable for us as first-time travelers and open any recommendations/suggestions.

Day 1: We land at Narita Airport in the evening and plan to take the Narita Express to Shinjuku, and stay for the night and roam around that area.

Day 2: Take the Fuji Excursion Train to Kawaguchiko. Ride on the ropeway and see the mountain. Any suggestions on how to travel and specific things to do here are appreciated.

Day 3-4: Our next stop is Kyoto. Still have to figure out the best way to get here. We plan to visit Kinkaku-ji and Arashiyama here. Again open to any pointers.

Day 5: Take a train to Osaka. Visit the ferris wheel, Osaka castle and maybe the aquarium.

Day 6: Spend the day in Universal Japan

Day 7: Go to Nara, visit the Nara Park and come back to Osaka. I'm considering getting the JR Kansai Mini Pass to cover days 4-7

Day 8: Take the Shinkansen to Tokyo in the Morning. Reach Akihabara and check-in to hotel. Visit TeamLab Planets (still deciding between TeamLab Planets and TeamLab Borderless), Shinjuku Gyoen and do some shopping

Day 9: Visit Shibuya sky, Shibuya crossing, Sensoji Temple and the Imperial Palace. Shopping around Odaiba Area. Visit Pokemon center as well

Day 10: Day for covering things that we have missed and finishing our shopping.

Day 11: Fly out of Narita Airport.

As i mentioned above any inputs/suggestions for our trip will be greatly appreciated. My brother has an interest in Pokemon and Anime so we are willing to spend some time for that. Also if there are any suggestions for veg food, how hard is it to get? Thanks a lot
