Hello, I'm not sure which pass to get. I'm confused about the JR Central pass, perhaps would be better for us.
We are a family of 4 adults, travelling in 4 - 18 December 2017
Day 1 arrive Narita Airport (express to Shinjuku)
Day 2-5 Tokyo (we can use suica card)
Day 6-8 Shinjuku to Lake Kawaguchiko (we are not going to Hakone, but staying around the lakes.)
Day 9 - 13 Mt. Fuji to Kyoto
Day 13-17 Kyoto to Osaka
Perhaps we will travel to Nara return during that time.
Day 18 we fly from Osaka.
So my thoughts are perhaps
1. Pay as normal fare for NEX.
2. Use Suica card for Tokyo travel as not very expensive.
3. Perhaps use JR pass starting on the day we leave Tokyo for lake Kawaguchiko. (but I am confused about which stations and lines accept JR Pass.)
4. Use the JR Pass for Mt. Fuji, Kyoto, and Osaka/nara, which is 7 days.
Is this economical compared to the individual fares?
We would very much like to ride the bullet train at least once.
OR
is there a better way to do it? For example, I have seen Central JR passes? perhaps this would be a better purchase?
I hope you can help, I'm very confused!!
Thankyou,
Jenny
