Hi!
We are a family of 12 and will be travelling to Japan this December 19 to 31. We arrive in Osaka on the 19th then would like to do a day tour of Kyoto so we will already exchange our passes on the first day. Our itinerary looks like this so far:
Day 1 Saturday Dec 20 Osaka - Kyoto
Day 2 Sunday Dec 21 Explore Osaka (Shinsaibashisuji, Matsusaka Gyu Yakiniku M)
Day 3 Monday Dec 22 Explore Osaka (Universal Studios)
Day 4 Tuesday Dec 23 Explore Nara
Day 5 Wednesday Dec 24 Explore Osaka (Osaka Castle, Namba)
Day 6 Thursday Dec 25 Travel Osaka to Tokyo via Shinkansen
Day 7 Friday Dec 26 Look for snow (Nagano)
Day 8 Saturday Dec 27 Explore Tokyo
Day 9 Sunday Dec 28 Explore Tokyo
Day 10 Monday Dec 29 Explore Tokyo
Day 11 Tuesday Dec 30 Explore Tokyo
Day 12 Wednesday Dec 31 Depart Narita Airport (Tokyo)
My question is, if we can do the long travels within 7 days, I should just get the 7day pass right? But by the time our passes expire in Tokyo, we will just do the usual Shinjuku, Shibuya areas which I understand is on the Yamanote Line so if I buy the 14 day pass will it be worth it or we should just get the 7 day pass and pay for individual trips?
Thanks in advance!
