I'll be visiting Japan in July for the first time, with my wife and teenage kids. We have a number of things we'd like to do, and we're planning to split our time between Tokyo and Kyoto. Is this a realistic schedule? I have grouped items together by proximity but the days themselves are not in any particular order; they can be reordered as needed.

1. Arrive in Tokyo, get checked into hotel, get our bearings
2. Explore Ikebukuro, Sunshine City (Pokemon Center, Pokemon Cafe)
3. Explore Akihabara, go to Kirby Cafe, maybe Tokyo Skytree
4. Sanrio Puroland
5. Studio Ghibli Museum (may need to buy a tour package that includes visiting some other sights, so this will probably take a full day)
6. Toyosu Fish Market, TeamLAB Planets
7. Meiji Shrine, Yoyogi Park, explore Shibuya/Shinjuku
8. Travel to Kyoto, get checked into hotel
9. Visit shrines (Fushimi Inari Shrine for sure, maybe Kinnini-ji temple and/or golden pavilion)
10. Samurai & Ninja Museum, tea ceremony
11. Short trip to Nara Deer Village, then shop for a kimono (not a formal kimono, but not a yukata either)
12. Toei Kyoto Studio Park (I'm not 100% sold on this, but it might be fun for the kids)
13. Travel to Hakone, stay at hot springs ryokan
14. Check out and travel back to Tokyo, fly out in the late afternoon.
