Hi there,

I would recommend purchasing a JR Pass and have its activation date to be set to the 12th to the 18th, as this is where the majority of your train journeys would be made. The rest of the tickets can be purchased individually.

In terms of your itinerary, I think it's great! If you're struggling with ideas for Kyoto, i'd encourage you to look at our blog on seeing Kyoto in a short period of time, which can be found here.

Hope this helps!

Hi Alexis-san,
Thanks for your response and feedback.

Would you recommend any Regional Pass to be purchased?

Which one suits our travel needs?

Regards,
Sunil
