Hi, my fiance and I are visiting in October for a period of about 16 days.
Our plan was to fly into Tokyo, stay a few days, take a train to Akita for a few more, then take a few from Akita to Sapporo. Drive around Hokkaido for a few and finally take another train back down to Tokyo and fly out from there.
How much of this can the Rail Pass cover? Is it possible to get a 14 day and activate it on the 3rd day of the trip? How far in advance should we book tickets?
Thanks!
