Hi Daniel!
We are a family of four adults and will be travelling to Japan from the 10th January to the 22nd January 2016. We will reach Osaka first and ultimately end our trip in Tokyo.
We hope from Osaka we are able to travel to Kobe and
Hiroshima and move towards Kyoto on the 5th day. From Kyoto we plan to make a day trip to Nara as well. We will be
spending 3 nights in Kyoto before heading to Tokyo. The remaining 5 nights in Tokyo, we wish to visit Hakone and a few
other places. I wonder if Shirakawago is doable from Tokyo.
Is the 7day JR pass the best and most economical way to travel, with our tentative itinerary?
I would like to thank you in advance for all your help and
suggestions. Appreciate your time and assistance.
