Hello! My boyfriend and I will be traveling in Japan in October. We will be there for a good 11 days. We land in Osaka and we'll be flying out of Tokyo and we're hoping to cover good places in between. In this case, we are wondering if it will be more worth it to get a one way JR Pass or an unlimited JR Pass.
Our schedule right now is:
Fly in Osaka
5 days- Osaka, Nara, Kyoto
2 days- Magome/Tsumago (not final, we would like to access some little villages in rural Japan)
4 days - Tokyo (trying to find a good place to hike from Tokyo. Our friend suggested Chichibu or Nikko)
Fly out Tokyo
I like the idea how the JR Pass is unlimited and we can stray from this itinerary anytime and we can decide to go to other places without worrying about the extra cost on the train. But if we are able to cover multiple stops on a one-way JR Pass, that would be even better. I am also not sure if we can make multiple stops under a one-way JR Pass provided we just go one direction (in this case, to Tokyo)
With this tentative itinerary, what pass would you recommend we get?
