We would love some help figuring out what makes the most sense for our trip - family of 4 - all over the age of 12. I am a travel writer and I am finding this challenging!
Thinking that a 7 day JR Pass would work for Days 6- 12 - thoughts?
Thinking a JR East pass for some of the days between 1 and 4 (didn't know which ones) for the regional pass
We are flexible on the day trip days for Nikko and Kamakura and can do them any days we are in Tokyo.
Thanks for any help! I really appreciate your expertise and opinions and experiences!
