Hi I am travelling a family of 5. 3 children 16,15,11 years.
1st Osaka for 1 night
2nd Kyoto for 2 nights
3rd day Hakuba for 7 nights
Back to Osaka for 1 night
Am I better buying a JR rail pass? Can you still buy a 5 days/in 14 flexi pass? Do you buy the rail pass in Australia before you leave and then validate it when you arrive or do you purchase after you have landed in Osaka?
Which trains would I catch to get me from the airport- Kyoto-hakuba-Osaka?
