Hi,
We're travelling to Japan as tourists group of 2 with the schedule below. Having this in mind we're having trouble deciding if we need a 2 weeks pass considering we re spending around 3 days in Tokyo, or go for a 7 day pass which we would activate when leaving tokyo, but would imply having to pay for the train from around Hakone back to Tokyo. Please advise and thank you for your tiME
