Hi there!
We need help in deciding whether or not we should be getting a JR Pass for our 2 week holiday in Japan. I know that there is a 7 or 14 day pass, but which would be better. 14 days to cover all travel or 7 days and paying for a few individual train fares. Our travel plans:
21 April - arrive Narita airport at 19:00hrs - travel to Tokyo
22, 23, 24 April - travel in and around Tokyo
25 April - travel Tokyo to Kyoto
26 April - Kyoto
27 April - day trip to Nara
28 April - travel Kyoto to Osaka
29, 30 April - Osaka (maybe a day trip to Mt Koya)
1 May - travel Osaka to Hiroshima
2 May- Hiroshima
3 May - travel Hiroshima to Miyajima
4 May - travel Miyajima to Hamamatsuu, stop for a few hours, then continue to Hakone.
5 May - travel Hakone to Narita airport for a 7pm departure.
Additionally, are there lockers at Hamamatsu to store luggage for a few hours?
What train time would you recommend leaving Hakone to arrive at Narita airport at approximately 4:30pm?
Any assistance you can provide will be much appreciated!!!
Thank you,
Sarah & Bobby
