Hi, I am planning to visit Japan in April 2015 and i am wondering whether the JR rail pass will cover the places that I will be traveling.
I will landed Tokyo Narita early in the morning, and i will directly travel to Kyoto and then travel back up to tokyo for my return flight, will be a total of 10 days in Japan.
My itinerary will be as below:
Kyoto for 02/03 nights with day trip to Nara
Kyoto to Kinosakionsen 02 nights (Please suggest whether Kinosakionsen or Hakone will be better for hotspring - if we prefer ryokan with their own onsen) how many nights will be perfect to stay in onsen town?
after onsen town travel to Nagoya stay 1 nights (kindly suggest better place than Nagoya if is along the way to Tokyo)
Nagoya - Tokyo 2 nights
i will purchase 7 days JR rail pass, however my trip will be 10 days, therefore I am in a dilemma of planning my itinerary so i can best utilize the JR pass to most places and minimize the transport expenses as it is really expensive.
would appreciated for your recommendation.
