Hi,
I'm heading to Japan for 32 days and need a bit of advice on the JR pass. I have a loose itinerary - I start in Tokyo and will visit Kamakura & Nikko on day trips. I will then head to Kyoto where I will again do day trips to the surrounding area Arashiyama, Nara, Osaka. After this I will go to Hiroshima, Miyajima and make my way across to Nagasaki. I will spend some time in Kyushu before heading back to Matsuyama, through Shikoku towards Koya-san &
Kumano-Kodo, Fujigoko before heading back to Tokyo for my flight.
I'm sure a 21 day pass will save me alot of money, but as I will be in Japan for 32 days what would my best option be? I had thought of paying for my day trips whilst in Tokyo and activating the JR pass on leaving Tokyo for Kyoto. Would buying a 21 + 7 day pass be the best option?
thanks!
Mat
