[Itinerary Check] 2 Weeks, Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Sapporo

Currently planning a ~two week trip to Japan in the beginning of June. Three people, two of us have been to Japan twice (including myself) and one has been once, so we've done a lot of the major/iconic stuff in Tokyo/Kyoto/Osaka. There are some repeats on this itinerary because we liked them so much, but we decided we wanted to try and head north to the Sapporo area for something new. That's mainly what I'm confused about, since we've never been there and I'm not sure if I have the itinerary laid out in the most efficient way. I would deeply appreciate any advice for traveling to Sapporo and the Hokkaido area in general! Historically based on our last few trips, we like to do a lot in one day with not a lot of time for rest, but I'm not sure if some days are still too light/too packed. (Note that some days on the itinerary aren't fully filled out yet, we're still trying to figure out what to do on some days). Would appreciate any insight or advice about the feasibility of our current plan!
