Hi, I would be grateful if you could help answer my questions:
1) I plan to travel from Narita Airport Terminal 2 to Nagano after 9 a.m.
a) Is it worth getting a JR Kanto Pass from the airport to use it to travel by the Narita Express to Tokyo?
And then can catch the Nagano Shinkansen straight to arrive at Ueda (Nagano) by 2 p.m.?
b) Can the JR Kanto Pass be used to travel from Ueda (Nagano) to Bessho Onsen?
c) Since the JR Kanto Pass is valid for only 3 days (and we will be in the Nagano region for 4 days) can I buy 2 JR Kanto Passes but activate the second one on the 4th day, when the first pass expires?
2) After 2 days in Nagano, we were thinking of staying the next 2 days in Matsumoto.
Can the JR Kanto Pass be used for travel from Nagano to Matsumoto.
Or is it more worth it just to use ordinary train travel (without the pass).
On the 5th day, we will have to be back in Narita Airport by 8.36 a.m.
Appreciate hearing from you.
