Post Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara Itinerary Late July 6 nights

Hi,

Ok so its my turn to ask for itinerary help as I've read a lot of what the others have posted

This will be in late July and for 6 nights, 7 days, but the last day is mostly dedicated to traveling. I have some questions and some things I'm not entirely sure where to go, we are pescatarian also so we need to make sure not to eat meat

Day 1 - Arrive HND at ~1:30pm
- Exchange JR Pass at airport
- Buy Suica card - Should each person have 1 suica card or would a couple typically share a card?
- Take JR Yamanote Line from Hamamatsucho Station to Tokyo Station
- ~2:30pm - Check in at Shangri-la, Tokyo

- ~4pm - Go to Ueno Park, stroll around, see the place

- 7pm - Have dinner somewhere or back at Hotel

Day 2
- Tokyo Imperial Palace Gardens
- Asakusa
- No idea what to do, I'm thinking maybe just turn this into a Nikko day tour?

- Tokyo Skytree at night (Weekday)

Day 3 - Akihabara!
- Studio Ghibli Museum via JR Chuo Line to Kichijoji or Mitaka Station, then take Bus to Ghibli Musuem
- Akihabara Station via JR Chuo and Chuo-Sobu Line
- Cure, Kotobukiya, Animate and whatever else

Day 4 - Hakone
- Send Suitcase to Hiiragiya Kyoto
- Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen to Odawara
- Buy tickets for loop
- Do Hakone Loop
- Back to Tokyo

Day 5 - Kyoto
- Checkout of hotel early
- Shinkansen from Tokyo Station to Kyoto Station, arrive at ~11am

Kyoto Itinerary:
- Fushimi Inari via Nara Line to Fushimi Inari Station
- Kiyomizu-dera
- Ginkaku-ji
- Nijo Castle
- Arashiyama
Can we fit all of this in or is there some order to doing all of this?

- Check in at Hiiragiya Ryokan, the bags would have arrived already right?

Day 6 - Nara
- Checkout of Hiiragiya, have bags send to Hyatt or HND already?
- Nara Line from Kyoto Station
- Feed Deer
- What else can we do around Nara?

- Back to Kyoto Station
- Check in at Hyatt

Day 7 - Go home
- Checkout at 9am, take Tokaido Shinkansen back to Tokyo Station
- JR Line to Hamamatsucho
- Tokyo Monorail to HND
- Arrive at HND at 1pm - I hope the bags are here?
- Leave HND at 3pm


So I'm not sure if all this is possible, looking for suggestions/recommendations. I have one day in Tokyo where I dont know what to do, either Nikko or do something else. Also the day trip to Nara, not sure what to fill that up with aside from Deer

Thanks in advance
