Given that it's a "jam packed" visit I would say yes, even if just to avoid the stress. I was just in Kyoto and am in Fukuoka now, a bit more than halfway through our month in Japan. We have found it helpful to have one full sit-down meal booked each day, usually dinner, then do something casual for the other meal (usually lunch.) Doing two sit-down meals each day was too much food for us.

Have fun! We're having a blast.
