Visiting Tokyo 4 days then we commence our train travel and ski leg as per below
Tokyo - Nagano (then ski 8 days)
day 9 Nagano - Kyoto
day 10 Kyoto - Hiroshima - Kyoto (day trip)
Day 11-12 sightsee around Kyoto days
Should we buy 6 passes ( presume JR pass for 14 days )or simply single one way tickets or can we buy a single one way through ticket for sector Nagano - Hiroshima and take overnight stopover in Kyoto ; travel to Hiroshima next morning on that ticket and then to buy a single ticket for each of us from Hiroshima to get back to hotel in Kyoto?
Total stay in Japan is 16 days and intend to buy the tourist subway card for Tokyo and a suica card for kyoto? is there a day Jr pass to use the yamanote line ? I intend for us to travel to/from airport is by limo bus due to suitcases!
