The itinerary is utterly impossible. It is way too much in way too little time.

Don't forget that the Tsukiji market closes pretty early (around 7am) and it's best to go there around 5am.
Also, make sure you check their calendar to know if it's working on the day you want to visit it:

the little red dot means it's closed (as you can see it's closed most sundays)

Good luck!

Don't forget that the Tsukiji market closes pretty early (around 7am) and it's best to go there around 5am.

It slows down (and auctions will have ended) after around 7am, but there is still a lot to see and eat until at least noon.

Can you please advise which are the choice of places i can visit and cover in a day?

* nara deer park
* Todaiji Temple
* Osaka castle
* Shinsaibashi Shopping street
* American Mura
* Namba Parl / Umeda
* Horyuji Temple

The problem is you are planning to cover 2 regions, 6 cities and 2 amusement parks, within 6 days.

Need to drop 2/3 of the places u have listed

If i want to cover 2 amusement parks, 2 region.
I will be staying 2 days in Osaka. One day in Hakone and 3 days in Tokyo.
Which are the cities? Should i cover to utilise my days?

Dear Uji,
I will be staying 2 days in Osaka. One day in Hakone and 3 days in Tokyo.
I plan to go Universal studios and Walt Disneyland.
After this how to move without missing the beautiful scenery, shopping and interesting culture?
Any chance for us to see red leaves in Tokyo?
My flight departure is afternoon 18/12. Can you share. Thanks.

Day 1 is the arrival day. You will arrive in central Osaka about 2 to 2.5 hours after the arrival of your airplane. That leaves you only with half a day in Osaka at the most.

Theme parks like Universal Studios and Disneyland are spacious and need a lot of time to visit. I recommend to allocate a full day each.

The trip from the Osaka region to the Tokyo region takes about four hours. That is almost half of a day.

Nara is a different city from Osaka. It takes one hour to get there. At least three hours to see the main sights. In total, the side trip to Nara takes at least half a day.

If you drop Nara, the Fuji Five Lakes and Kyoto, an itinerary like the following could be possible. You still would have to cut on the long lists of attractions you intend to visit on each day.

day 1: at most half a day Osaka

day 2: Universal Studios

day 3: Osaka

day 4: Osaka - Hakone - Tokyo

day 5: Tokyo

day 6: Disneyland

day 7: departure (from Tokyo's Narita Airport, I assume)

Dear Uji,
We have bought the 7 days JR pass.
Can you share with me place to visit for day 1?
day 1: at most half a day Osaka
day 2: Universal Studios
Can you share with me place to visit for day 3?
day 3: Hakone
day 4: Plan to visit Mount Fiju
day 5: Tokyo
day 6: Disneyland

Thank you.

Any chance to cover this places within a day? Please advise how many and the places can i cover?

Hakone - Lake Ashi
* Mt Fuji - Lake Kawaguchi, Owakudani Boiling Valley, Oshino Haldoai Village
Day 5 Tue -
KYOTO
* Kiyomizu Temple
* Arashiyama
* Toyohashi
* Heinan Shrine
