I've had a good read here and on TA and was wondering if someone with experience could look this over for me please:
25 March arrive Haneda 0730, collect 14 day JR pass to use from the 27th.
25-28th Tokyo with a day trip to Kamakura
28th Tokyo to Odawara buy Hakone free pass
28th and 29th Hakone with a full day sightseeing on the 28th
30th Hakone to Takayama via Nagoya overnight Takayama
31st Takayama to Kanazawa with overnight
1st Kanazawa to Kyoto for 2 nights
3rd Kyoto to Mount Koya for overnight
4th Osaka
5th Miyajima via Hiroshima for 2 nights with a full day to visit Hiroshima
7th back to Tokyo
9th depart for the UK
This gives me 3 nights in Tokyo at the beginning and 2 at the end, I intend to forward the luggage Tokyo to Hakone, Hakone to Kyoto and hopefully Kyoto to Tokyo and travel with lighter bags for 2 or 3 days. Would people recommend back packs or small wheeled cases?
Finally, I know it's been asked lots of times, but looking at this particular itinerary is it worth the £100 each for the green pass?
It's my first time to Japan so would really be grateful for any hints or tweaks from the pro's.
Thanks
