Hello,

My family and I are going to Japan in July with 6 people. We are planing to buy 7days passes. I haven’t decided to buy green or ordinary card since I don’t know if green card can use with my itinerary. Where can I get train schedule for Tokyo, mt Fuji, Kyoto, Nara, and Ōsaka.
1. Day 1 arrive 8am at Narita. I want to see both Hakone and lake kawaguchiko what is the best way? Does Jr pass cover from Hakone to Fujiyoshida area or vice vesa? What train should I take from Narita Airport to either Hakone or Fujiyoshida area?
2. Day 2 in mt fuji area and take train to Kyoto in the afternoon. Which train station is best from mt Fuji to Kyoto?
3. Day 3 Kyoto. can I use jr pass in the area?
4. Day 4 Kyoto & possibility to Osaka & Nara
5.Day 5 in Kyoto and come back to Tokyo in the afternoon
6. Day 6&7 in Tokyo

Can I use my green pass with all this trip? How easy it is to make or cancel reservations on green card or ordinary card (assuming I can make & cancel sitting on line)?

Thank you for your helps.

Hi Ros,

1.) For travel times, I recommend learning to plan with Hyperdia this way you can find any route/timetable and more. It's a great tool for planning with the JR Pass. We also have a useful interactive map with all JR lines included.

2.) For seat reservations: https://www.jrpass.com/blog/reserving-seats-boarding-the-bullet-train

I think a normal rail pass would work fine with your trip. Green seats are available on the Narita Express, to Kyoto and Back to Tokyo. Usually, local inner-city trains do not have green seats.

3.) For Fuji, please see: https://www.jrpass.com/blog/itinerary-tip-mt-fuji

Hope this helps,
Daniel
