Hi there,
I had originally planned for a trip from Osaka and flying out from Tokyo home, but accommodations and ticket didn't work out so I have to Re-plan. I am hoping you can offer me some advice on how to maximize my time and also which JR pass to use. I am traveling with someone older (60) so we won't be going too fast paced.
Day 1 Tokyo- land in the evening, 1900 ~ explore Tokyo night ( Which area is the best to stay in ? )
Day 2 Tokyo - Full day explore
Day 3 Tokyo - Full day explore
Day 4 Tokyo; buy Hakone pass and visit for one day trip, back to Tokyo at night
Day 5 Tokyo to Yokohama, stay in Yokohama at night
Day 6 Take train from Yokohama to Nagoya; Stay in Nagoya
Day 7 Check out from Nagoya; (store luggage at a train station? - is it available?) Take train and visit Tsumago and Magome Post Town
** please leave me advice if I should stay a night at Magome; I'd like to walk the trail but I am not sure if its' a good advice that I am traveling with someone older to do this.
Take train to Kyoto
Day 8 Kyoto full day
Day 9 Kyoto to Osaka ; stay in Osaka
Day 10 Osaka full day
Day 11 Osaka- Nara day trip- Osaka
Day 12 Osaka- Kobe day trip- Osaka
Day 13- Osaka train back to Tokyo
Day 14- Tokyo Departure
I am not sure if I should buy JR pass for 7 days or 14 days.
