We are planning a trip to Japan for 7 nights our itinerary is as follows:
We arrive in Narita and will head to Tokyo - spend two nights visiting.
Early in the morning following the second night, we were planning to go to Lake Kawaguchi for one night - what is the best way to get there? I saw there is a bus from Shinjuku at 6am and every hour after.
The following night, go to Kyoto and spend 2 nights there - what is the best way to get to Kyoto from Lake Kawaguchi?
Head back to Tokyo for 2 nights - or would you suggest a nice stop on the way there for one night, and then spend the last night in Tokyo before heading to Narita?
Also, for all this travel, does it make sense to buy a JP Rail Pass? (does it include metro in Tokyo?)
Can we buy the rail pass at Narita?
Thanks for your help !! looking forward to the trip!
