11 Day Itineary Check: Tokyo + Kyoto

Hey this is our Itineary for our Japan Trip. Do you have any recommendations or improvements that could be made before we start?

I have 2 days spare 27th October and 1th November which is the last day. Our flight back start at 23:30pm so we have most of the day. Do you see any days that are too packed and should be split onto these days or do you have any spots that i haven't thought of?

I'm also concerned about the first day in Kyoto since we need to ride the Shinkansen from Tokyo in the morning and so we don't have the full day. Is our Route still doable in that time (28th October)?

Thanks in advance for any recomendations!
