Hello Poonsri,

I think that the 7 day JR Pass will offer the best value - with a bit of planning added in!

The most expensive parts of your itinerary are travel to Takayama, Kusatsu and the day trip to Nikko. You would make great savings if you could cover them all, which in itself should not be hard when you use the JR Pass from day 2 to day 8.

You could then consider the 1500 Yen Narita Express ticket for your arrival and purchase a normal return ticket to Narita on the last day.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
