Based on my personal experience,
You can plan to the very minute detail, but things don't always work out as planned (most of the time they don't !!)
So, give some allowance to yourself and minimize the number of places you plan to visit in a day. You will never never know what could happen (train delay, getting lost, bad weather, lost your belongings, waiting for meals etc.)
Agreed with Matt, this is wat we called ITINERARY..what ever you plan you must have this kind of itinerary...of coz..theres only plan...the matters time and situation can change all!You can plan to the very minute detail, but things don't always work out as planned (most of the time they don't !!)

Kimono for men or women? I'll assume women but men wear kimono's too. For an example, look at any sumo basho (tournament; there's a BIG one coming up mid-Sept called Aki basho-it's in Tokyo) and you'll see several men sitting by the dohyo (ring) on the floor. They are judges and are usually past champions. They will be wearing male kimonos.
But before you buy a kimono, make sure that's really what you want. Are you sure you want a kimono? It is very difficult/impossible to put on a kimono without any training. There are kimono schools you go to to learn this or you pay $$ for someone to help you put on a kimono. A kimono, as tanoshi, points out, is mucho $$. If you really intend to buy a kimono, buy a 2nd-hand one. Here's a good place: http://www.ichiroya.com/
Also if you want something like a "touristy" kimono, go to Omotesando. There's a famous shop there called Oriental Bazaar. They say the typical Japanese woman wears kimonos only a few times in her lifetime: shichi-go-san (literally 7-5-3: the important years as a child) when they are little kids, when they turn 20 (that's when they reach adulthood), wedding and funerals.
I think perhaps you mean a Yukata. Many non-Japanese are confused between the two. Yukata is worn in summer, especially during Obon (Like the chinese qing ming). It is made from cotton instead of silk. Much cheaper.
Like tanoshi (he's an obvious expert in women so he knows hahaha) says, you can buy Yukata (perhaps best during summer) at Uniqlo or any department store (like Keiyo at Shinjuku Sta.). Together with this, you should buy some underwear (called hadajuban) and then a belt (obi - get the ones that are half as wide - forgot what they are called). You can also get cute coin pouches that tie to your obi. Then, to complete it, you need the wooden clogs called geta and the split-toe socks that go with it. All those accessories can be found at the same stores.
HTH.
