Hi there!
We are going to Japan for first time for 15-16 days. Before buying the 14days JRP (it seems like the obvious choice) we would love to have some advice. Maybe it could be worth to buy the 7 days JRP and then a couple of regular train tickets?
The itinerary we have in mind is as follows:
Narita airport > Tokyo.
4 days in Tokyo (with daytrips to Kamakura and Nikko)
Tokyo > Takayama (night in Takayama)
Takayama > Kyoto
3 days in Kyoto (with daytrip to Nara)
Kyoto > Mount Koya (night in Mount Koya)
Mount Koya > Osaka (Night in Osaka)
Osaka > Tokyo (One night in Tokyo)
Tokyo > Narita Airport
We´ll love to stay a night in a Ryokan as well and we have been looking online for some of them, but everyone we like (with hot springs) seems to be too far away from our journey. Does somebody know about some good ryokan next to those destinations? Any other piece of advice will be welcome :)
Thanks in advance!
