Good day, fellow travelers!
I am going to Japan in a few months and I have a few questions regarding using the rail system.
My rough itinerary is as follows:
DAY 1 ARRIVAL INTO TOKYO/ HND AIRPORT- late afternoon
DAY 2-4 EXPLORE TOKYO
DAY 5 DAY TRIP TO HAKONE
DAY 6 DAY TRIP TO KAMAKURA
DAY 7 EN ROUTE TO KYOTO
DAY 8-9 KYOTO
DAY 10 DEPARTURE FROM KYOTO EN ROUTE TO OSAKA- walk around the city. KIX AIRPORT by 6pm.
A few questions:
1) Is it worth it to get a JR pass since I will be arriving in Tokyo and leaving from Osaka?
- IF getting a JR pass is not worth it, which passes should I get for both Tokyo and Kyoto, which would include most of the day trips?
2) What is the best mode of transport to/ from both HND and KIX airport?
3) I read somewhere that there is a transport that people take when exploring Hakone? Which one is this and where can I purchase the ticket?
Thank you for you time! I'm looking forward to this trip. :)
