Hey guys!
I'm trying to figure out what is covered by the JR pass and whether I should be getting the 7 or 14 pass. I would appreciate if you could clarify my understanding.
Here is my itinerary:
Day 1 to 5: Arrive in Tokyo and straight to Shinjuku (Day 3: go to Five Lakes)
Day 6: Shinjuku to Nagano
Day 7: Nagano to Osaka
Day 8, 9, 10: From Osaka, take day trips to Kyoto, Nara, Kobe
Day 11: Osaka to Hiroshima
Day 12: Hiroshima to Tokyo/Shinjuku
Day 13: Tokyo/Shinjuku to Haneda Airport
I think the 7 day pass starting on Day 6 and ending Day 12 is probably the best in terms of saving money. Do you agree?
I also just did a quick search using the 'Japan Trains' app (as recommended by Hyperdia). The route from Nagano to Osaka via Kanazawa is covered by the JR line. Is that correct?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Wendy
