Dear Sir/Madam,
We are going to stay 5 days in Tokyo. From there we want to travel to Mount Fuji, Gifu, Shirakawa Go, Kyoto and end in Osaka from where we will fly to Okinawa. We want to take about 7 days to get from Tokyo to Osaka with stops in the places mentioned before. Could you advice us if we should buy a Jr pass, a West Kansai Area pass (since we are traveling west) or is it cheaper to buy individual tickets for all destinations? If you advice us to buy a West Kansai Area pass do we have to purchase it outside Japan or can we also buy it while being there? And if we need a JR Pass how far do we have order it in advance? We will be arriving at Tokyo on the 17th of May. Thank you in advance for your information!
Kind regards, Ilse.
