Hi,
My wife and I are spending two weeks in Japan. We arrive in Osaka on October 1 and depart Tokyo (Haneda) on October 15. We intend to get a 7-day JR pass, but would like to know if that is a good idea.
Here is our current itinerary:
Day 1 (Oct. 1) - arrive in Osaka
Day 2 - Osaka
Day 3 - Train to Kyoto (First Day of JR Pass)
Day 4 - Kyoto
Day 5 - Kyoto
Day 6 - Train to Hakone
Day 7 - Hakone
Day 8 - Hakone
Day 9 - Train to Tokyo (Last Day of JR Pass)
Day 10 - Tokyo
Day 11 - Tokyo
Day 12 - Tokyo
Day 13 - Tokyo
Day 14 - Tokyo
Day 15 - Fly back to USA
Does this itinerary look okay? Are there any other potential places to visit on this route? Are we spending too much time in Kyoto or Hakone? Would it be better to get the 14-day pass?
Thank you so much for your help!
Best,
Cody Gray
