Japan Time

rkoldSpring is in the air, which means time to start thinking about Japan and Golden Week. I lucked out, and I think found a great air fare but am now trying to figure out how best to spend my time.
I want to:

muscatlove (South of Osaka)
Seeyanchamonkey (South of Osaka)
Go to Doll Show (Tokyo)
Go to Dolpa (Tokyo)
Go to 5/4 Super Comic City to get the Kashi extras (Tokyo)
Go to Sato (Kyoto)
The problem is trying to figure things out with rail passes and ideally I want to leave Japan 5/7 so I can make it home in time to see the husband on his birthday.
I'm starting to think I should fly into Tokyo, go to Doll Show, then turn in my pass, see Jenn and Kate, make a late day trip to Tokyo on the 3rd, stay overnight the 3rd and 4th, go back to Kansai post Dolpa. Go to Sato on the 6th, and then try to get in a bit of Comic City Osaka before flying out. I need to find a Haruka schedule, I know getting from Intex to Tennoji isn't so painful, but I will have to find a left luggage place cause giant suitcase and Intex===BAD. If my flight is late enough aka post 4, it's totally do-able, since I once did Doll Show and flight out the same day. (It just involved left luggage.) The real question is, my rail pass will be expired unless I get two weeks: 4/30, 5/1, 5/2, 5/3, 5/4, 5/5, and 5/6, is 1 week. If I get 2 weeks, I can fly into Osaka, which I prefer, cause I like leaving from LGA over JFK. (more restuarants, shorter trip, etc. and O'Hare has a Starbucks!)
I can go to Sato on the 6th, if I leave Tokyo after Dolpa on the 5th, trains are fun.
I need to decide soon, so I don't lose my airfare. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?
