I have a lowepro protective 450 backpack with enough space.
and 16-55 is a must.

I do not know what is the idea / purpose of your trip … I am planning or more like dreaming a trip to Japan. My previous experiences of travelling have show’n me that i usually carry TOO much gear in the beginning…. 
If i some day buy the tickets it will be two lenses -  for example  from your list 10-24 + 16-55. One body and two possible ways to carry gear. Shoulder bag for  cities and possibly some insert for a comfortable backpack.

If i take Canon gear it will be FF body with 14-35  and 24-105f4.
