April 9th: arrive to Narita (8:30PM) and travel to Osaka (Sleeping in Osaka) I will stay in Tokyo in the Disney Resort hotels ... but I don't want to visit Disney, so I will be traveling to Tokyo every day. I have several questions:

Thanks a lot Andrés! Firstly, lets break down all the costs for your trip:
TOTAL: ¥35620 for 10 legs Here are some answers for you:
As you'll be in Japan for 7 days, the 7 day rail pass would be the only suitable pass for you. In order for it to be worth it, you would have to spend more than ¥28,300 on rail tickets. As your ticket costs will be ¥35,620, I recommend buying the 7 day rail pass - you'll make a saving of ¥7320 and it will be very convenient.
The last bullet trains to Osaka leave Tokyo at around 8pm, so I think it'll be best for you to sleep in Tokyo.
The best way to move between these cities will be by JR, especially if you have a rail pass.
The best way into Tokyo is via the JR Keiyo line at Maihama. It's a short 13 mins journey to Tokyo station so will be very convenient I think. Here's a sample itinerary.
Hmm. Possibly not Fuji water, but there are a lot of Bath houses ('onsen' are spring water, 'sento' are heated water bath houses) in Tokyo that will probably be great choices (you don't want to travel too far from bed for these!). If you want something very close to you hotel, how about checking out the Sento and Onsen in Maihama? As it's close to the Disney resort there will be lots of choice. Here's an onsen at the hotel Eurasia Maihama which has 23 different spa's. Cost wise, you're looking at around ¥2000 so it is very good value. If you want a more traditional, fun onsen experience, how about the Oedo Onsen Monogatari? It's a recreated old part of Tokyo plus onsen hotsprings - could be good fun! (here are some photos) Hope this helps! |

Thanks a lot for the info... you really take a lot of time to help me .... From your answer I will:
About the JR pass, I will buy 4 passes but I want to know if you charge the delivery expenses per ticket or per the whole pack? Thanks again for all your help. |

Hi again! Capsule hotels are really funny places, but they are often not available to women. They can also be a little tired and old these days. How about trying to stay in a traditional Ryokan? About the rail passes, delivery is charged per order, so if you order 4 tickets, the delivery charge will be the same as an order with 1 ticket. Hope this helps! P.S. Some bath houses allow tattoos, so it's still worth asking! |

The Ryokan looks really nice but it looks that almost all the Ryokan are outside Tokyo. I was checking about the first train from Tokyo to Osaka is at 6:00 AM departing from Shin-Yokohama. I'm trying to find a good hotel close to the station .... About the bath houses I will check in Japan, and about the tickets I will buy them the next week. Thanks. |

Ok! good luck with the search - I always find that google maps is the best way to look for hotels near stations in Japan. Maybe you can try this search for some ideas? Hope this helps |
