- Would the 2 week JR pass be beneficial for this itinerary or do you have any other recommendations?
- If the 2 week pass is not beneficial - which tickets and routes would you recommend?
- Do I need to make seat reservations to use the trains on the JR pass? If so, how do I do this?
- Tokyo to Hakone - Will I be able to use JR pass to Odawara and then buy the Hakone free pass in Odawara? I believe the pass is then Y400pp, is that right?
- Is there an option to use the romance car from Shinjuku to Hakone on the JR pass? If so, what is the price of this upgrade? How do I organise these tickets?
- What is the best route from Osaka to Narita and which train is included in the JR pass?
- Is google maps the best way to find out the best transport option from place to place? How do we know if JR pass can be used or not?
