Hi there,

I think it is a very balanced itinerary, and I don't think you need to make any real changes. I guess the only part would be Hakone/Fuji/Five lakes. This is a surprisingly large area with plenty to do & transport can be complicated. Therefore, look into what you want to do there and make a detailed plan. For example, you could do the highly recommend Hakone Circle, but that would not really leave enough time to go see some of the Fuji lakes - like Kawaguchiko.

Have a good trip!
Daniel
