Tokyo you probably don't need any of my advice, though I would try to stay closer to the west side, along the Shinjuku/Harajuku/Shibuya line, its more "central" if you are also visiting Yokohama and the Kanagawa area

Mount Fuji, do you plan on climbing fuji or just want to have a close look? I never climbed fuji before, so I won't be able to suggest how you can access it, but to see it you can do it through Odawara > Yumoto (Hakone) > Lake Shi or Travel from Atami
I was planning on scheduling about two days to climb Mt. Fuji, so I can pace myself, and schedule it so I can watch the sun rise or the sun set. I hear sun rise/dawn is the best time to be at the peak

As for everything else, there's no problem with using one guesthouse for the month, and rent a hotel or guesthouse in Okinawa and other locations so I don't have to race back? Or do you still recommend moving my home away from home around every few days to a week?
