Hello,
I will arrive in Tokyo on 27/8 and leave on 9/9. I purchased a 7-day JR pass that I plan to use to get to surrounding cities.
27/8 - 31/8: Tokyo
Quick question: could I, and should I use the JR pass to get to Mount Fuji?
1/9: Start of JR pass - I'm considering a day trip to either Kamakura or Nikko. Which one do you recommend?
2/9: Takamaya for a night. Will I be ok speaking English in that village?
3/9 & 4/9: Kyoto
5/9: Day trip from Kyoto to Osaka
6/9: I'm considering a trip from Kyoto to Osaka, then from Okasa to Mount Koya. Will this trip take the whole day? Also, economically, is the Koyasan World Heritage Ticket worth it compared to the normal price of taking JR and all the transfers?
7/9: Dropping by Nara before heading back to Tokyo. End of JR pass.
I heard the Himeji is temporary closed for renovation? Is it still worth a trip?
THANK YOU!
