Hi there,
my husband and I are traveling to Japan in late June, early July and are contemplating whether to get a JR Sanyo West Pass or to buy individual tickets.
Our planned Itinerary (though glad for suggestions) is as follows:
Arrive in Osaka International, train straight to Kyoto
Stay Kyoto 4 nights with possible side trips to Koyasan and surrounding areas to hike.
Kyoto to Hiroshima. Stay Hiroshima 3 nights, with a side trip to Miyajima.
Hiroshima to Osaka and 4 nights in Osaka before flying out.
Some outings we would definitely like to include are:
Fushimi Inari
Nishiki Market
Tenryu-ji temple
Sanjusangen-do
Kiyomizu-dera
Kinkaku-ji
Koyasan
Miyajima
Baseball game at Koshien Stadium
Do you think it is worth getting the JR Pass or would we be better off to buy individual tickets?
Thanks for your help, any advice would be appreciated.
