My wife, my 21 month old toddler, and I are travelling to Japan from May 13 - May 31. Our itinerary is as follows:
May 13: Arrival at NRT
May 13-20: Tokyo (+side trips)
May 20-24: Sapporo (+side trips)
May 24-30: Kyoto (+side trips)
May 30-31: Tokyo, Departure at HND
Is the 14 day JR Rail Pass my best option?
While using the fare calculator, it showed Tokyo to Sapporo takes 8h of travel time, I thought the shinkansen was faster than that? Am I mistaken?
Should I buy the 14 day rail pass or consider something else?
