Hi fellows,
I'm travelling to Japan February 2017 for 10 days. The point is I can't not match my itinerary with the JRP validation and I need your help to re-arrange my timeline!!!
DAY 1. Arrived at Tokyo around 11 AM. Stay for 1 nights
DAY 2. Heading to Kyoto. Stay for 2 nights
DAY 4. Move to Osaka for 2 nights
DAY 6. Nara for 1 night
DAY 7. Takayama for 1 night
DAY 8. Hakone for Mt Fuji photo and hot spring ^^
DAY 9. Back to Tokyo for 2 nights
Following what I read on the internet so PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG. I will have to active the JRP when I arrvied to Narita Airport to be able to use it. So here is my calculation:
- The JRP covers:
+ "Narita to Tokyo" using JR Sobu/Narita Line Rapid to CHIBA then Jr Sobu Line Rapid to TOKYO ==> $11
+ "Tokyo to Kyoto" using the Shinkansen Hikari 501 (leaves at 6:26 AM) ==> $138
+ "Kyoto to Osaka" ==> $5
+ "Kyoto to Nara" ==> $7
+ "Nara" to "Takayama" ==> $109
That's all because the JRP expired at the 7th day. The JRP price is $300 and it covers around $350. Then I will have to buy single ticket from Takayama to Hakone and Tokyo ($250 for those routes). Since I travel around Japan, is it needed to buy Kanto area Pass ($83) and Kansai thru Pass ($40). Quite expensive T_T
