Hello! I will be travelling to Japan mid October this year, and am trying to determine if the JR Pass would be suitable or would I actually be spending more on it?
My GENERAL itinerary is :)
Tokyo (7-9 days visiting friends) > somewhere around Fuji (Shizuoka?) > Nagoya > Kyoto > Osaka > Tokushima (train/ferry) > Matsuyama (not sure which direction I will take here, as I will probably stop 2-3 times between Tokushima and Matsuyami for 1 day each) > Hiroshima (ferry) > Fukuoka > Okinawa (flight, is JR Pass useful at all in Okinawa?)
Is the JR Pass useful around Shikoku? And valid for ferry travel??
I'm planning to spend anywhere from 2-4 days at these main hubs. Any help/guidance would be much appreciated!
