Hello,
I will be traveling to Japan on business but my family will come along for personal trip. We fly into Narita airport and will catch bullet train to Nagano on a Monday. We will be in Nagano thru Friday when we head back to Tokyo. Tokyo stay thru Sunday then move to Disney Area.
Will a JR pass be best option for our time and what good 1/2 day or day trips can be take from Nagano and Tokyo. Since I can not sightsee during time in Nagano, would it be best if I got individual tickets while family got multi day JR pass?
Itinerary:
Sep 21: Arrive Narita Airport head to Nagano via Bullett Train
Sep 22: Nagano: while I work Husband and Daughter will sightsee
Sep 23: Nagano: while I work Husband and Daughter will sightsee
Sep 24: Nagano: while I work Husband and Daughter will sightsee
Sep 25: Travel from Nagano to Tokyo (Shinagawa station area) then sightsee for day (all of us)
Sep 26: Sightsee in and around Tokyo (all of us together)
Sep 27: Leave Tokyo for Disney (all of us together) I assume for research JR pass to Miahama station then on own for travel to hotel. DOes JR go to Bayside Station (as this is closer to our Hotel)
Sep 28- Sep 30: Will spend most time in Disney but open to some touring
Oct 1: return to Narita airport: What is best pick up location for JR Pass
