Hi,
I will travel to Japan in April and the itinerary is below:
Day 1 -Arrive Kansei airport and travel to Kyoto by train
Day 2- 4 Kyoto -travel around Kyoto city
Day 5 -Kyoto to Hakone
Day 6 Hakone - travel around the area
Day 7 Hakone -Tokyo
Day 8-10 Tokyo - travel around Tokyo city
Day 11-Depart from Narita Airport
Should I buy 7 days JR Pass on the above travel itinerary? Do I need to buy the Hakone free pass as well?
Hi there,
For this trip it will be cheaper to buy normal tickets. A JR Pass would have been a good option if you made a return Tokyo - Kyoto.
For Hakone, the Hakone Free Pass can be a great option if you plan to explore the full Hakone region but it will depend on what exactly you'll do there.
Hope this helps,
Daniel
