2 Week Japan Itinerary Check (Sept 18-Oct 1)

Hi! I just booked a last minute trip to japan as a tagalong with my friend and her cousin.
This will be my second time (first was 10 years ago), but their first trip. So I will be doing some repeats in Tokyo since it’s my friend’s first time but there's honestly so much i havent seen.

I’m most excited for Kansai region and was wondering if I should take one day off of Tokyo and add another day to Kyoto or another day trip outside of tokyo/kyoto. Not sure if I’m being too ambitious. I generally like to leave some room for unplanned exploration, food, and downtime.
