Hi there,
I have a plan to in this November 2016 (18-27)
Day 1. Arrival Haneda apt
Day 2. full day visit Tokyo
Day 3. Tokyo - Nikko
Day 4. Nikko - Tokyo - Toyama
Day 5. Toyama- Kanazawa
Day 6. Kanawawa - Shirakawa go - Kanazawa - Kyoto
Day 7. Kyoto
Day 8. Kyoto
Day 9. Kyoto - Osaka
Day 10. Osaka - departure (AM flight)
I tried your JR Pass calculators and it is not work with 7 days Pass. I am thinking of Nikko 2 days Pass and Arch Hokuriku Pass 7 days (Day 4-10), but the total single tickets seems to be lower than the Pass.
Am I right?
My questions:
1. With Nikko Pass, if I am back from Nikko right on first day, can it be OK? As I found that Pass is cheaper than return ticket from/to Tokyo (Tobu train)
2. With Arch Hokuriku pass, am I sure to have seats on train? or by chance only? Or I buy Pass and have to book all seats in advance? If the train I want have no more seat to reserve?
Thank you for your kind advice by return
