Hi,
I am planning for a 15 days trip to tokyo and this is what i initially intended to do ( i hope to get some advice for my itinerary as well as how i can better make use of the different transports in Japan at ease and on a budget:
Arrival from Narita Airport:
1. Take the Keisei Skyliner to Ueno
Day 1-3: Tokyo
1. 72 hours day pass to travel around
Day 4-5: Kyoto
1. Travel from Tokyo to Kyoto using the Platt Kodama Pass(not sure if this is existing now)
2. Purchase the Kyoto city bus and subway 2 days pass (or use suica card + all day bus pass only)
*NOT SURE which is a better option
Day 6-7: probably check Naoshima Island out
*What is the best way to go there and using which passes would allow me to go there?
Day 7: NARA
1. 4days JR Kansai pass or just purchase a train ticket or use the suica pass
Day 7-10: NARA to Osaka
1. 4 days JR Kansai pass or just purchase a train ticket or use the suica pass
Day 11-12: OSAKA-Mt Fuji
1. Does HAkone free pass let me go to mt fuji fm osaka and then to Tokyo the day after?
*Is staying overnight necessary?
Day 13-15: Mt fuji- Tokyo
1. Hakone Free Pass
2. 72 hours day pass/24 hours day pass (as my flight is at 2 pm)
Departure Tokyo to Narita:
1. Keisei Skyliner
FOR THE KANSAI AREA:
*Would it be better to take a train using the kodama pass to go to kyoto and use it again from osaka back to tokyo and use the kansai JR pass(4 days for kyoto>Naoshima>Nara>Osaka) or to purchase the JR rail pass 14 days/7 days?
OVERALL, for my itinerary, i would be moving around within tokyo a lot to touristy areas so would it be wiser to get a 14 days rail pass + suica card for my trip or to purchase 2 sets of 72 hours days pass for Tokyo, one 4 days kansai pass(activate on the last day of kyoto) + Kodama train which cost 10300 yen from tokyo to kyoto and 13300 from osaka back to tokyo, the 2 days amazing osaka pass, kyoto subway + bus pass?
Hope to get a reply asap as i will be leaving soon!
THANK YOU FOR THE HELP!!
