Hi Daniel San,
Some questions.clarifications about itinerary:
Day 1 Arrive at Osaka at 2200 (hotel at Plaza Osaka-closest to Juso station) How to get there?
Day 2 Osaka full day
Day 3 Osaka nara Osaka
Day 4 Osaka Kobe / Hemeji Osaka- is this too rushed?
For Day 2,3,4 or Day 1,2,3 (would it be beneficial to buy the Kansai Thru pass? or the Amazing Osaka Pass? or SINGLE tickets?)
Day 5 Osaka to Kyoto
Day 6 Kyoto
Day 7 Kyoto to Nagoya
Day 8 Nagoya and head to Magome/ stay in Tsumago for night
Day 9 Tsumago to Yokohama
Day 10 Yokohama to Tokyo
Day 11 Tokyo to Nikko (optional) and back to Tokyo
Day 12 Tokyo to Hakone
Day 13 Hakone back to Tokyo
Day 14 Tokyo
Day 15 Tokyo
Day 16 Head Home
Should I get a JR 7 day pass to use from Day 4 to Day 11 ? ( I don't have to go to Nikko)
1) I am trying to justify if a 7 day pass is worth it
2) I am trying to figure out what is the best pass to use when in Kansai region
Thanks!
