Hi. We leave on the 1st April for our first trip to Japan. Our itinerary is below and would appreciate your advice on the best rail/bus pass options:
April 1st to 7th apartment in Tokyo - will book a taxi service for late night trip from Haneda Airport to Shibuya where our apartment is and do short sight seeing trips around Tokyo as our 1 year old granddaughter will be with us for this section only
April 7th to 10th - my husband and I do the rest of the trip on our own - travel to and stay 3 nights in Osaka with possible day drip to Hiroshima
10th to 12th - travel to and stay 2 nights in Kyoto with possible 1 day guided tour to Nara
12th to 13th - travel to and stay 1 night in Kanazawa
13th to 16th - travel to and stay 3 nights in Takayama for the Festival - is it possible to stop off in Shirakawa-go on the way to Takayama just to have a walk around the village etc for a few hours - then get back on a later bus/train to Takayama- is there somewhere you can leave your bags in Shirakawa-go while we walk around??
16th to 18th - travel to and stay 2 nights in Hakone and explore this area - cable car etc - a 2 day Hakone Free Pass??
18th - travel to to Kansai Airport or Narita Airport for outbound flight to Seoul - we haven't booked our flight yet - Peach Airlines is the cheapest but only flies out of Kansai to Seoul - JAL flies from Narita to Seoul
Any advice would be very welcome please
Thanks
Paddi
