My wife and I are traveling next week to japan and I've been told to purchase a JR pass. I'm trying to determine based on our schedule and places to visit if it makes sense.
We land on Wed August 17, 2016 in Narita International airport at 3PMish. What is the best transportation option to get to courtyard Marriott, Tokyo?
We spend two days in Tokyo and then go to Yokohama for 4 days visiting the smaller towns in the country side.
Best transportation method?
Monday we will go from Yokohama to Kyoto, spend two days visiting sites, make a day trip to Hiromshima and on Friday travel back to yokohama to fly out Friday night midnight back to the US.
Is buying a JR pass the best method or would paying for each leg of the trip be the best option? we may not go to Hiroshima and come back to Mt. Fiji on Thursday.
Thanks for your advise, can I still buy a JR pass and pick up when I arrive in Japan?
