Itinary check 8/10 days in February Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto solotravel

Hello,

This is my second time in Japan, my first time was in October/November and was only in Tokyo.

This time I will travel in February and I want to visit Tokyo/Kyoto/Osaka and i would love to have some advices.

Things i enjoy : My best memories from my last trip was the night-life in Tokyo so food/drinks/music. During the day i like shopping districts, getting lost in the city and i like to visit some temples and parc.

​

This is my rough itinary :

* 19/02 : Arrived in Tokyo at 5 pm, pocket wifi, maybe JR-Pass, Check-in and chill in the area of the hotel
* 20/02 : Ueno Park maybe the Zoo ? Akihabara the afternoon and night.
* 21/02 : Shibuya, Harajuku, Shinjuku, night in golden gai.
* 22/02 : Check-out, trip to Osaka, Check-in, visit of Kuromon Ichiba Market and night in Osaka Dotonbori.
* 23/02 and 24/02 : Trip to Kyoto and visit : Monkey parc Iwatayama, Fushimi Inari-taisha, Nishiki Market, Kinkaku-ji, Kiyomizu-dera, Nijo Castel.
* For these 2 days I go back and forth from Osaka to Kyoto and I stay the night in Osaka
* 25/02 : Osaka Shi Tennō-ji then SHIN-SEKAI then Osaka Castle then a live event (For Tracy Hyde) at Anima Osaka
* 26/02 : Either trip to Nara or Osaka Aquarium depending on my motivation. If i stay in Osaka i will do some shopping in the afternoon.
* 27/02 : Check-out trip to Tokyo Check-in in a Hotel in Roppongi, visit of Roppongi (Roppongi Hills and Tokyo Midtown) night in Roppongi.
* 28/02 : Fly back home in the morning.

​

I have some question on this Itinary :

* Is the JR-Pass 1 week worth it ?
* For the first hotel in Tokyo, would you recommand to book in Shinjuku, Akihabara or somewhere else ?
* Is the Ueno park inside the Zoo or you can visit the park without going in the Zoo ?
* Did i miss something important in Kyoto or in Osaka ? (i don’t plan to go to Universal Studio in Osaka)
* Do you have suggestion for places to drink in Osaka except Dotonbori and is there a district like the Golden Gai in Osaka (with small bar) ?

Thank you very much for reading me, please tell me if you have any remark or advices !
