Hi, I will be travelling to Osaka (arriving on 14 June, departing on 21 June) and will be there for 8 days and I have a few questions to ask.
1) Should I buy the 7D unlimited JR pass? If so, should I start using it on the 14 June, and hence buy a separate ticket for 21st June (as my flight back is at Osaka International Airport at 10am)? Do I then buy the separate tickets when I am in Japan itself or do I have to pre buy it online prior to my trip?
2) May I know how do I maximise my JR pass to get to Hakone or Kawaguchiko? Which area will you suggest going (I will be staying there for 2 days and 1 night) in terms of feasibility and scenary?
3) May I know if the JR pass covers all the metro train stations in Osaka and Kyoto itself? If not, do I buy those metro train tickets online or when I am over in Japan?
Thank you very much and I am looking forward to your reply :)
