Was thinking of getting the 7-day JR pass starting on March 26 ending on April 1. Do you recommend the 7-day pass? Is that the best dates to use it? But confused on if it's better to get the different Kansai pass instead and what to do for hakone return to Tokyo. If there's one day trip from Tokyo would Nikko be a good option? Thanks for your help.
