Hi
We are coming to Japan for 2 weeks in May. We have a planned itinerary and intend to get a 7 day JR Pass to minimise the cost of getting around. Could you confirm whether it will cover all parts of our journey? Also, I'm slightly worried about how easy it will be to arrange all the different parts of the journey once we arrive, is it possible to reserve trains for the longer journeys from Tokyo when we first arrive?
17th Tokyo to Nikko (not using the pass)
19th Nikko to Tokyo to Kyoto (start pass from this day)
20th Kyoto to Nara return
21st Kyoto to Hiroshima return
23rd Kyoto to Mount Koyasan
25th Mount Koyasan to Kyoto to Tokyo (last day of pass)
Thanks
Sara
