Hi, we (2 Adults, 1 child) plan to spend 14 days in Japan from 28/1/16 to 10/2/16. Would like to seek your advise whether is worthwhile to purchase 7 days JR Pass and use in our planned itinerary.
Is JR Pass can only purchase online? Can we purchase over counter when arrived Narita airport?
Our arrival in Narita airport 28/1/16 around 4.30pm and we wish to travel from Narita to Osaka. Where can we activate JR Pass and how do we use JR Pass to travel to Osaka? Will it be very late when arriving Osaka?
Do we still need to purchase Narita Express ticket and Suica card?
Our planned itinerary (6Nights in Osaka, 7Nights in Tokyo) as follow. Can we fully make use JR Pass to take Shinkansen on our first 7 days travel between Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya, Kobe and Kyoto?
Can please comments or give suggestions to our below planned itinerary?
