Hello,
THANK YOU for this wonderful site with tons of useful info! And Daniel-san for the answers!
What time does JR pass start working on activation day and end on the last day of the pass.
I am thinking to buy 7-days pass for our itinerary for days 4 - 10. I used calculator it looks like pass it is a good option for those days. Or 14-days pass?
day 1 - arrival to Tokyo, Haneda in the evening
day 2 - Tokyo
day 3 - Tokyo
day 4 - Nikko (1-day trip returning to Tokyo in the evening)
day 5 - moving from Tokyo to Kyoto, Kyoto rest of the day.
day 6 to 10 - Kyoto and around, e.g 1-days trip to Nara and 1-day trip to Himeji
day 10 - moving from Kyoto to Odawara for 2 nights in Hakone.
day 11 - Hakone
day 12 - Moving from Hakone to Tokyo
day 13 -Tokyo
day 14 - morning departure from Tokyo
Would it be better to go to Kyoto direct from Nikko on day 4? We want to spend full day in Nikko, it means leaving it in the evening and night traveling to Kyoto. Or:
1- to stick to original plan and return for the night to Tokyo;
2- stay overnight in Nikko and move directly to Kyoto on day 5?
We plan to buy 2-days Hakone pass or Fuji Hakone pass from Odawara. Which is better for 2-nights in Hakone?
Thank you!
Appreciate your guidance.
