Which is better is always subjective, and sometimes there are other factors as well, eg. for me, I prefer Kawaguchiko and 1 big reason was that it was peak autumn season and I enjoyed the view of Fujisan with the autumn foliage!

Hi, I'll be heading to Japan for 3 weeks next year to explore both Hokkaido and Tokyo. Currently the rough plan is this:

Hokkaido (9-10 days)
- Chitose + Sapporo (3/4 days)
- Otaru (1 day)
- Noboribetsu (1 day)
- Lake Toya (1 day)
- Hakodate (2 days)

I'm thinking of including the following in the rest of the days:
- Izu (2 days)
- Hakone (1 day)
- Yokohama (1 day)
- Kawaguchiko (maybe)
- Nikko (maybe)
- Disneyland (1 day)
- Tokyo (remaining days)

Ideally, I would like to spend at least 5 days in Tokyo. I have 2 questions..
Firstly, if I want to experience the Mt Fuji view, is Hakone or Kawaguchiko a better option?
Secondly, does everything seem to be too much to do for 3 weeks?

Thanks y'all!!
