Agree with others, plus:
4. most likely Eastern Buzzard (Buteo japonicus) although the individuals I saw in Hokkaido and Izu were all much paler below, I guess they are very variable like common buzzard (B. buteo)
18. Agree with above, probably Dusky Thrush but hard to tell from pic
25. Japanese tit - Parus minor ssp. minor
27. Slaty-backed gulls - bright pink legs and dark mantle

Thank you everyone for the corrections and IDs. Yes, as mentioned in my original post, I had already tried to ID them the best I can (and included the names in the photos) but no offense taken at all. Appreciate the help very much.
Unfortunately the leaf warbler was quite far off and I have included two more shots of it (cropped to about 5% of the original photo). The dusky thrush flew off before my camera could focus correctly. I spotted nearly 40 species this trip. It was not a birding trip so that's a very good count and I'm quite pleased about that.
