Hi
We are 3 people, planning to visit Japan from 28 Apr- 8 May, 2015 with the itinerary Tokyo- Kyoto- Nara- Hakone- Tokyo; we are considering to buy 14-day JR Pass, could you please share your advise for some of the questions as below
- Should we take the 14-day JR Pass, how much will it save for us? When our intinerary is as below
28 Apr- 1 May: Tokyo: Shibuya- Hirajuku- Shinjuku & inside Tokyo.
1 May - 4 May: Kyoto: inside Kyoto
4 May: Nara
5- 6 May: Hakone
6- 8 May: Tokyo
- We will pick Shinkansen for trip from Tokyo- Kyoto & Kyoto back to Tokyo.
- Inside Tokyo: we will use mainly train
Inside Kyoto, Nara, Hakone: we will use both train & bus
For the trip to Hakone: should we take the Shinkansen from Kyoto station--> Odawara Station then take train --> Hakone? Or should we consider Bus from Kyoto --> Hakone? What transportation type saves us more time? and money?
What time usually Shinkansen depart in the morning? If we want to take a Shinkansen of 6:20AM, what time should we be there?
Thanks and Await for your response,
BR. Phuong
