Hello,
We are family of 4 adults plan to travel in Japan for 12 days in April 2016.
Our traveling itinerary includes 6 days in Tokyo and 6 days in the country, as follow:
• Tokyo- 4 days- is the pass includes transportation from/to Narita? transportation within in Tokyo? • Takayama- 2 days • Kanazawa (stop over Shirakawago) - 1 day • Kyoto-2 days • Hakone- 1 day- is the pass includes Hakone free pass? • Tokyo -2 days
Could please advise:
-- As we arrive to Japan at April 16, we planned itinerary to start traveling in the country from Takayam in order to enjoy the cherry bloom, is that make sense?
-- Is the place in the way we “should miss” to enjoy the spring cherry bloom?
-- Would it be beneficial to purchase in advance a 7 days JR rail pass (ahead of coming to Japan) although we will be traveling out of Tokyo for 6 days only ?
-- What type of pass fits the best our itinerary?
-- Will the pass cover the whole itinerary, including Shinkansen?
-- What will be the best traveling option from one place to the other?
Thanks, YOKO
