Looks very packed per day. Not sure if you can fit everything especially during cherry blossom season. There are a lot of tourists and long queues so do factor in that.

Hi would you be kind enough to point out on which day seems to be too packed for you so I can consider another option and make adjustment?

Well I wouldn't really call this detailed breakdown but it should make it easier for people to understand my itinerary I guess
