Hi,
For my below itinerary, how should I use the JR Takayama 5day tourist pass & other day passes to maximise savings? Should I get the 5day pass only for the 1st & last 5days of my trip then use day pass or normal tickets for the middle 5 days etc? Or get 3 consecutive 5day passes?
I have made some initial plan as below, but only the first 3 nights are fixed for staying in Osaka (Namba station), the other days can be adjusted if needed to optimise on the passes needed. Would appreciate if you can advise on any other nearby places that we can make full use of the pass.
14th Nov 2016 to 1 Dec 2016--3 ladies travelling
Day 1 (14/11) : Itami arrival 8.30pm >> Osaka (Namba station)
D2 : Market, Dotombori etc
D3 : Kenrokuen Garden
D4 : >> to Gero Sta
D5 to D6 : Gero area,
D7 : >> to Takayama Sta
D8 to D9 : Takayama, plus maybe Shirakawa-go daytrip?
D10 : >> to Kanazawa Sta
D11 to 12 : Kanazawa area, maybe Kaga onsen or Yuzawa onsen daytrip?
D13 : >> to Kyoto
D14 to 17 : Kyoto, plus maybe Nara daytrip?
D18 (1/12) : >> to Itami airport (easier to take airport limo bus?)
Many thanks in advance!
