Hi,
My wife and I are travelling to Nagoya from Tokyo in the next couple of days and after seeing the many photos of Chureito Pagoda during cherry blossom season, we would really like to stop out there for at least a couple of hours to see some of the 5 lakes region and possibly the views of Mt Fuji from the shrine. My questions are:
1) Is Chureito Pagoda too far out of the way from the train lines to reach during a transit day to Nagoya?
2) If it's possible, what is the best travel option to get there and then continue to Nagoya? (We have JR rail passes and so were hoping to go out by train but happy to hear all options.)
3) We would be travelling with 2 large suitcases, is there an option for storing luggage in one of the train stations while we walk around the 5 lakes region and Chureito Pagoda?
We appreciate your help in advance! Thank You.
