Hello again,
Just seeking your advice on using a JR pass for our trip in September. Our itinerary is as follows;
09/09-13/09 -Arrive at Narita airport at 7pm. Stay in Tokyo for 3 nights.
13/09-15/09 - Tokyo to Kyoto. 2 nights Kyoto.
15/09-18/09 - Kyoto to Osaka. 3 nights in Osaka. On the 16/09 we were thinking of taking a day trip to Hiroshima. On the 18/09 we would travel Osaka back to Tokyo. Then depart Narita airport at 8:30pm.
Are we best to purchase our travel tickets separately or purchase a JR pass? If a JR pass is more economical, do we get the 7 day pass, and at what point do we activate it to get the best use of the JR pass?
Since we don't have airport/hotel shuttles, what is the best and most cost effective way to travel to/from the airport/Tokyo?
Thank you in advance
Sarah & Bob
