Hi, we (couple) are traveling mid Oct to the following area, please advise which JR Pass to purchase that can give us the most economic option:
Day 1 - Kansai Internationa Airport to Kyoto
Day 2 - Kyoto area
Day 3 - Kyoto area
Day 4 - Kyoto to Takayama
Day 5 - Day trip Takayama to Shirakawa-go
Day 6 - Day trip Takayama to Kamikochi
Day 7 - Travel to Toyama
Day 8 - Toyama to Tateyama-Kurobe Alphine Route (overnight at Hotel Tateyama, Japan Alps)
Day 9 - Alphine route to Matsumoto
Day 10 - Matsumoto to Osaka
Day 11 - Osaka
Day 12- Osaka to Kobe
Day 13 - Osaka to Kansai International Airport
We saw there is a "Takayama tourist pass" that we can purchase but it's for 5 days only. Some area may not be covered under the pass. Please comment.
How about traveling within Kyoto and Osaka, do we also use the JR pass to move around?
Please comment if the above itinerary is alright? We love to see the Autumn Colors during that period!
Thanks a million!
