Hi, I am from Singapore travelling to Japan again next month but to Tokyo, Hakone, Shira Hama and Osaka this time. Below is my itinerary:
Day 1- Arrived Airport Narita and take train to Hakone Yumoto by Narita Express to Tokyo Station and change to Shinjuku Station to take the "Romance Car" to Hakone Yumoto Station.
Day 3 - From Hakone Yumoto Station to Shin-Osaka Station by taking Shinkansen"Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen - Hikari " from Odawara Station or Shin Yokohama Station.
Day 4 - From Shin-Osaka Station to Shira Hama Station by taking "Kuroshio -Limited Express Shirahama ".
Day 6 - From Shirahama Station to Shin-Osaka Station by taking "Kuroshio -Limited Express Shin-Osaka ".
Day 7 - Last Day from Shin-Osaka to Tokyo Station by "Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen Nozomi" and to Ikebukuro Station, Shibuya Station, Akihabara Station by "Yamanote Line" before returning to Narita Airport by "Narita Express".
Please advise me which JR Pass should I purchase for these 7 days.
When I take the Shinkansen, can I use the JR pass. Can I use JR pass for "Nozomi Shinkansen, and Sanyo Shinkansen? Do I have to top-up additional money for the Shinkansen ticket or do I have to purchase the Shinkansen ticket separately? If I cannot use JR pass for "Nozomi Shinkansen, which Shinkansen can I take from Shin-Osaka to Tokyo Station
For Hokkaido JR which I did last month, I use the JR East website to do the seats reservation, but now which website or how do I do the seat reservation/booking online? Is it JR Central, JR West or still JR East? Please provide me with the Web address.
Thank you and best regards,
Ng Kwan Chung
