I intend to go Japan for 10-11 days in late October.
I plan to do this. Is it convenient to arrange the itinerary as follows:
TOKYO --> HAKONE --> KYOTO --> OSAKA --> TOKYO
day 1 - tokyo - sightseeing
day 2 - travel from tokyo to hakone (day trip):
Should i take Shinkansen or JR Tokaido line / from Shinjuku → Odawara. Can 7 days Japan Rail Pass use for both shinkansen and JR to odawara? Which is faster?
Hakone: Get Hakone Free Pass to get around.
day 3 - tokyo to kyoto - by shinkansen? stay one/two night at kyoto?
day 5 & 6; followed by kyoto to osaka - by shinkansen? Stay 2 nights?
day 7 - 11: osaka back to tokyo.
