Hiya, me and my friend are visiting Japan first time in October. However our itinerary is as follows and not sure if we can buy the 14 days pass + another rail pass (which one?)

13 Oct: Transport Haneda airport to Tokyo
PM in Tokyo (Overnight cheap accommodation)

14 Oct : Full Day Tokyo sightseeing (Ueno park + anything else)
O/N cheap accommodation

This is where the issue is
15th - 19th : Transport to Narita as we go to Bali & back (long story:))

20 Oct- AM Transport Narita to Kumakara (sightseeing + O/N cheap accommodation)

21 Oct - AM Transport Kumakara to Mount Fuji (O/N in a mountain view/Hot springs accommodation)

22 Oct - AM Transport Mount Fuji to Kyoto
23 Oct - Kyoto (sightseeing + O/N cheap accommodation)
24 Oct - Kyoto (sightseeing + O/N cheap accommodation)

25 Oct - AM Transport to Mount Koya (read that there is another pass to buy) (sightseeing + O/N stay in temple accommodation)

26th Oct - AM Transport to Osaka (sightseeing + O/N cheap accommodation)

27th Oct - Free day
PM Transport to Narita airport

28th Oct - AM flight departure to LHR

Any suggestions please (only interested in ancient/sacred cultural mystical sites) ....thanks much.

Hi there,

That's certainly looking like an interesting trip! I would recommend buying a 7 day JR Pass and use it from 21 Oct - Oct 27, this would allow for good savings and would be the best option for your budget.

You may also buy the 1,500yen ticket upon arrival. This is a very convenient way to get into Tokyo and good for budget as well.

Since you are interested in cultural mystical sites, i'd also visit Nara. There's a lot to be found here, from Todaji temple, to the national museum and the ancient palace ruins.

Hope this helps!
Daniel
