Hello!
Me and my friend are going to Japan in april this year and I know our best choice is nationwide JR pass for 21 days but I was wondering if anybody here could give us a little help for where to get off the JR trains to take local trains?
I was looking at the map and I didn't see (or maybe I'm just blind!) how to get to Kinosaki! I saw that pass goes around that area but I didn't see the name or a name close to it. What stations should we get off and if anybody knows what trains that would be great! (not expected but would be amazing!)
Also we'll be going to Mt.Fuji five lake area, I noticed in the map the Gotenba station...do we get off there and then use local transport?
Is it hard traveling in local trains,buses etc? Is there a great language barrier?
I've been on trains like 4 times in my life so I'm pretty damn nervous!
Thank you for the help (I hope you'll give me ;) ) and have a nice day! :)
