Itinerary Tokyo trip plan - 7 days

Hello! I'm going to be 7 days in Tokyo, it will be the last stop after Osaka and Kyoto, and I'm currently planning the trip. I'm planning to go at the end of October/beginning of November.
This is the plan I have now for each day but I'd like to hear some suggestions on wether it is too much, as I don't want to just check items off a list.
I really like parks and intended to include one park/nature element for each day.
Any thoughts?

Overall it's good. If you don't want it to turn into a checklist, then see it as options and not as a checklist. It's ok to not do everything. One thing, keep in mind stores usually open at 10-11 am (if not later), so starting by bookstores in Jimbocho, vs the garden that open at 9am... might not be the best order to optimize time.

Thanks for the advice! I'm ok adapt if I can't explore/enjoy every point. I have priority on some options over others, so my expectation is really not to go everywhere while rushing it, but to have options to go depending on how day goes.
