Hi this is my itinerary, please advise me where I CANNOT use the JR Pass as I am trying to work out if i should use the overnight bus instead from Yudanaka to Kyoto. Thank you for your help:
Narita airport to central Tokyo Shinjuku area Shinjuku to Hakone Hakone to Yudanaka yudanaka to kyoto city centre kyoto to Himeji castle himeji to Kansai airport in Osaka
Hi there,
You can use the JR Pass to Nagano, which has good access to Tokyo and Kyoto. Yudanaka is sort of an extension from Nagano but this part is not covered by the JR Pass. For using the JR Pass, plan going to/from Nagano station and add the cost of travel to Yudanaka as a separate fare. Using local trains, it is around 1.200yen/one way.
All the rest is covered by the JR Pass.
Hope this helps,
Daniel
