Hello - Thank you so much for your assistance! I wanted to see whether we should purchase the 7-day JR Pass or the 14-day JR Pass for our upcoming trip. I am traveling with my husband and our 20-month old toddler.
We are thinking of the following sights to visit:
DATES (DAYS) - PLACES
Dec 13-18 (1-6) - Tokyo (arrival in Narita)
Dec 19 (7) - Yudanaka (visit snow monkeys, 1 night stay in ryokan)
Dec 20-22?? Kyoto/Nara (flexible)
Dec 23?? Hiroshima/Miyajima (flexible)
Dec 24-26?? Osaka/Himeji Castle (flexible)
Dec 27-28 (15-16) Tokyo (departure from Narita)
1 - Are we missing anything major? I wasn't sure if we could get a good view of Mt. Fuji in December. I am trying to think of possible day trips that we could do from Tokyo in the first 6 days.
2 - After Yudanaka and the snow monkeys, we haven't planned anything except our return trip to Tokyo at the end. So we are totally flexible in how to see Kyoto/Nara, Hiroshima/Miyajima, and Osaka/Himeji Castle. I just want to make sure that we use the most economical route to get to all places.
Thank you so much for your help! I'm overwhelmed with all the information out there and haven't quite gotten a handle of the Hyperdia app yet.
Best,
Farah
