Hello there. I need some help with using the JR Pass during my trip in July. I have a rough itinerary and hoping if you could help out please.
Is it worth purchasing the JR pass for & days?
06/07/15
Arrive at Narita Airport and go to Asakusa. Explore and stay the night there.
07/07/15
Visit Edo Tokyo Museum. ( Is there any place where we can store our luggage's while visiting the museum? )
Go to Tokyo and Ginza. Visit the place and stay some where close to the Tsukiji Market.
08/07/15
Early morning visit to the Fish Market.
Visit Shibuya, Harajuku, Shinjuku. Stay at Shinjuku ( Is it possible to visit all 3 places in a day?)
09/07/15
From Shinjuku leave to Kawaguchiko for Mt Fuji. ( What is the best way to reach there? We want to leave our luggages in a station. After that we want to go to Hakone. So which Station should we leave from to be able to continue our journey after climbing Mt Fuji. Should we go via Gotemba? Is the JR Pass covered for this journey?
Staying at Mt Fuji. Is it better to climb at night to save money and see the sunrise? Are the prices of the huts vary much differences?
10/07/15
Decent from Mt Fuji and continue to Hakone.( What is the best way to reach Hakone?)
Explore Hakone and Osen. Stay overnight.
11/07/15
Hakone leave to Hiroshima. ( What is the best way to reach?)
Visit Hiroshima and stay. If time permits visit Miyajami Island. ( Do you think we will have enough time to do both places in one day? )
12/07/15
If time doesn't permit we will visit the Island today and then leave to Nagoya. ( What is the best way to reach?)
Stay and explore Nagoya.
13/07/15
Watch Sumo. ( Must we purchase the tickets online? I think they get sold out very fast. Where can we purchase it from a trustworthy agent?)
14/07/15
Leave from Nagoya Airport.
Besides all the other questions, is this a good plan? and can we use the JR Pass to travel to all these places? Can the JR Pass be used on all the lines such as Asakusa Line, Shinjuku Line, Oedo Line, Fukutoshin Line, Private Line or the Toei Streetcar Arakawa Line? Im confused because looking at the Tokyo Subway Route Map, there is also JR Line. Does it mean I can only use that line with the JR Pass?
I also read that by activating the JR Pass at the airport, we get a free ride with the NEX to Tokyo? Is that true? What if I just want to go to Asakusa? is that possible?
I am sorry for the mountains of questions. I really need some help and really aprrecite your help.
Thank you so much.
