Itinerary – 3 weeks in Japan

Hi All,

Looking to get some feedback on my rough itinerary, particularly the routes from Day 9-12. I’m still debating whether to visit Kanazawa for 2 nights as the next spot is Lake Kawaguchi which is about 5-6 hours train ride according to Google. Is it worth making a trip to Kanazawa or should I allocate the nights to Kyoto or Tokyo? I love seeing culture and have been reading positive comments about Kanazawa

Would there be too much travelling in my overall itinerary?

Thank you!
