I bought a different color for my gf and I liked it so much I bought the same one for me a couple days later
This is not a backpack that is probably going to be comfortable hiking or trekking around the city. I see it as a way to maximize personal item space and it has the built in sleeve so it slides over your wheeled luggage handle
Not a lot of organization but you can do things to mitigate that. This bag is a winner
I have a nice osprey porter 30 or 32l that has the bright green interior. That has more storage and is a legit backpack you can hike with but for underseat storage the 26+6 is more compact and stores more

You may also want to look into luggage forwarding services, especially if you plan on buying a lot of souvenirs while you're there. Most hotels with a front desk will offer it for relatively cheap ($25-$30 per luggage) and it will typically arrive at your next hotel (assuming its a major city) by mid-afternoon the next day. I used this multiple times and it allowed me to buy whatever souvenirs and clothes I wanted while I just kept some essentials in my Osprey or a smaller day bag.
EDIT: the video says it qualify as personal item for most airlines

I have heard a lot about the luggage wforwarding - is it very simple to use even if you don't speak Japanese? I hear you can have hotels set it up but in our case, we will be at an AirBNB in Tokyo and then another one in Kyoto. I think we are on our own when it comes to forwarding but I've heard you can do the luggage forwarding at most convenience stores/konbini or if there's a luggage handling office near where we're staying that would obviously work too. I wonder if we could use luggage forwarding at a hotel even if we're not staying there (like if there's one near the AirBnB)... do they have luggage forwarding options at most of the stations (at least the stations where the shinkansen dept/arrive)?

I was also deciding between the Daylite 26+6L and 35L for this trip. If you are definitely packing over 26L, I would recommend going with the 35L instead of expanding the 26+6L to fit more stuff. The 35L is thinner than the expanded 26+6L which helps in crowded places like the Tokyo subway.

Luggage forwarding is super easy - so long as you're staying at a hotel that does it. All I had to do was bring it over to the front desk and they handled literally everything, I just had to give them my name and the address of the next hotel, then paid (usually in cash). You'll have a harder time with AirBnBs, with hotels they can receive your luggage so often times my luggage was already in my room by the time I got there. I don't think you can forward luggage to AirBnBs unless someone is already there and able to accept the luggage. I don't think a hotel will do it for you unless you're staying there so you will have to look into konbinis.
