Hi!!
My siblings and I are planning a trip to Japan for 3 weeks in June! All three of us have differing interests in what specifically we would like to see, but we would all like to travel together. The following is our very rough itinerary (we're intentionally keeping the day-to-day activities unplanned for now, as we know that overextending in that regard can be a common Japan travel pitfall). No matter what, we are all looking to have a good balance between scenic nature & city life. It's our first time going to Japan, so we're looking to hit up the places you can't miss.
Feedback that I'm looking for:
1) Is this amount of travel between cities unfeasible for 4 college-age adults?
2) Are we spending too much/too little time in any locations
3) Are there any glaring omissions (places close to Tokyo/Kyoto/Osaka or on Tokaido/Hokuriku shinkansen lines)
