Judging from your user profile, I think you should spend a couple of days in Tokyo for the theme parks (Disney), some gardens (e.g. Rikugien, Koishikawa Korakuen), art museum and night life. And then head out of Tokyo.

Direction of Nagano could be a good idea, where you can see Matsumoto Castle, Zenkoji Temple and the Northern Alps for the outdoors and onsen.

Hi. Last year in May we went to Matsumoto, Kamikouchi, and Karuizawa. Not much in the way of nightlife in Kamikouchi unless you are talking about bears and monkeys, but it was a great time of year and the places we stayed (onsen hotel Kamikouchi, Tsuruya ryokan Karuizawa) were excellent.

With a short trip you might like to be based in one place (Tokyo) and add a couple of excursions (Fuji, Nikko, Nagano) - nothing too far otherwise you spend all your time changing city.

A second option is to do a couple of days Tokyo and a couple in Kyoto/Osaka.

Hokkaido in mid May is not so bad Sakura blooming maybe possible at south area
but best season starts from next month June a bit early.

Best match is this large Fes (a lot of videos on YouTube).

(Fes content and regular schedule are no big change)
Fes visitors around 0.9 million as 2 days total but fes space wide not so feel busy.
Yoi matsuri night dancing visitors together time with very fun standing at same main street stage.
Foreginers dancers and cute girls a lot.

To fes by fastest Tohoku Shinkanen Hayabusa 320km/h max about 90 min from Tokyo stn easiest.
Fes main street stages access easy by bus or subway about 10min or 15min walk.
