It will be my first time going to Japan! This is for a group of 2. I'm wondering how this agenda sounds and if it seems doable. Also looking for other recommendations.

We are not big into insta-famous places like Team Labs. We are hoping to eat a local places (like little holes in the wall or street food) throughout the day, so we have not put any restaurants in stone. Although from what I'm hearing we may need some reservations at certain locations. I'm not too concerned about staying at specific or budget hotels, my goal here is just to really fine tune the agenda for each day.

Day 14 seems like it will be an overflow/filler day for any missed activities in Tokyo or extra shopping
