Hello,
I am coming to Japan for two weeks from 5th-18th September and am wondering whether I should purchase a 7 day or 14 day JR pass or just pay for travel when I am there.
I plan on doing lots of hiking trips but am on a tight budget so need to know what the most cost efficient way of getting around will be.
I arrive in Tokyo on 5th and plan to stay for a few days before heading to Kawaguchiko to climb Fuji. I then would like to travel to Kyoto for a couple of days and visit Osaka before traveling to Tanabe and Hongu for some more hiking.
From Hongu I would like to get to Nara for one day before returning to Tokyo. I'd also like to go on a day trip to Kamakura from Tokyo before I leave.
Any advise or comments you have on the above itinerary would be hugely appreciated!
Many thanks,
Rosie
