Oops commented was directed at me... but basically my route was:
- Started in Tokyo and rode to Mount Fuji
- Fuji to the Irago peninsula (fantastic!)
- Took the short ferry ride across to Toba
- Toba to Kyoto
- Kyoto -> Nara -> Osaka -> Kobe
- Shimanami Kaido
- Hiroshima
- Fukuoka
- Back to KitaKyushu and took the Ferry back to Osaka
- Lake Biwa
- Gifu and back to Mount Fuji
- Back to Tokyo
It was about 3000km riding in about 20 days on the road. Seems like you are already much better prepared than I was. One maybe not so well documented thing I found was that there are large-scale underground bike parking facilities in most major cities that feel safe enough to leave non-valuables with your bike as many people leave the jackets/commuting clothes etc. So I would park up at one of these, unpack my valuables and leave everything including bike bags and go off and explore.
In Tokyo I stayed in Sakura Hotel/Hostel Ikebukoro, which was pleasant and cheap. They also stored my bike travel bag in their luggage room for no cost because I was staying a night at the end of my trip.
