Planning a 15 day November trip to Japan for the first time – is this too much?

Trying to get the most out of our trip seeing both the main sites and some slightly chiller trips (Kanazawa and Hakone). Is this trip feasible or too much moving around? Trying to ensure we fill the trip as its a bit of a once in a lifetime, without completely over facing our time.
