Itinerary check - 21 days

Hello Catie,

Looking at your itinerary as it is, I think going for a 14 day JR Pass would be the best option. While travel within Tokyo is included to many places, it simply does not cost a lot to travel within the Metropolis.

I also suggest visiting Hiroshima instead of Nagoya. There is a lot of great stuff to see and do around Hiroshima, including the iconic Miyajima.

Nagoya is very much a business city but not that great for tourism.

Lastly, I also recommend a day trip from Tokyo to Nikko.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi Daniel

Thank you so much for your response. It was very helpful.

I have removed Nagoya and added Hiroshima. Can I use the JR Pass to commute there?

Also, how long after I order a JR pass should I expect to receive it in the mail?

Thanks
Catie

Hi Catie,

Yes, the JR Pass covers the route the Hiroshima. You can even use the Shinkansen there.

Delivery is very quick:

Do keep in mind that the JR Pass has to be activated within 90 days after purchase.

Hope this helps too!
