Hi everyone, I would like your help in solidifying my itinerary, I know it's quite last minute but it would really help in terms of finding out in where in my itinerary I can and can't use the JR pass. I plan to purchase the 14-day JR pass. I land in Japan on June 1st and leave June 19th. I recommend any improvements or any advice suggested.

Hello there,

I think the route looks good and there are only a small couple of things I would different. This would be the Alpine Route and Shirakawago. Going to the Alpine route from the Hakone region alone will take several ours. I think it would make more sense to travel to say Kanazawa on one way and do the Alpine route the following day.

Also, for Hiroshima I would visit it as a day trip from Osaka or between Nara and Osaka. This because travel from Hiroshima to Tokyo is quite long and you can nicely spread your travel around this way.

Hope this helps,
Daiel
