14 Days Japan Itinerary (Osaka-Kyoto-Hakone-Tokyo) – First Time Travelling to Japan

Hello, I would be travelling to Japan with my Family(Parents and Siblings) to Japan from 15May- 28 May. Would like some advice for the 1st draft of itinerary that I have planned and some general question. Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you.

Questions:

1. Any recommendations for what to do in Osaka
2. I repeat Dotonbori in Osaka and Pontocho in Kyoto (Any recommendations for Night activities?)
3. I wanted to travel at a relaxed pace, but worried that my schedule has too little things, do you notice any days with too little items?
4. Is it worth adding one more day in Hakone to go for mishima skywalk
5. Thinking to visit Kawaguchiko, would you recommend going kawaguchiko after hakone or using one of the spare days in tokyo to go as a day trip(So that it would be a clear day to see mt fuji)
