Hey I did the same route with minor deviations a few years ago but continued on south to Nagasaki. The route is fine but definitely has some less scenic sections and there are some parts that are steep enough to warrant walking but I’m talking tiny stretches. I camped every night with just a bivvy bag apart from in major cities and found no problem finding good spots. The amount of small public shelters in Japan was crazy and I would often find amenities like outdoor showers as well. Konbini’s are everywhere so finding a bathroom and filling up on water is never an issue. PM if you have any more questions I might be able to help with!
