There are multiple passengers in my group with slightly different itineraries and I was wondering if a JR Pass makes economic sense and when to activate.
If I activate a 7 day card at 8pm on Day 1, will it stay valid for 7 days (i.e., 168 hours) from the time of activation so it expires at 8pm on Day 8 or will it expire at 12:00am on Day 8?
Passenger 1's proposed itinerary, who is considering a 14 day JR Pass, is as follows:
Day 1 - March 27 (8pm) - Arrive Narita Airport, train to Tokyo
Day 2 - March 28 - Tokyo to Kanazawa
Day 3 - March 29 - Kanazawa
Day 4 - March 30 - Kanazawa
Day 5 - March 31 - Kanazawa to Takayama
Day 6 - April 1 - Takayama
Day 7 - April 2 - Takayama
Day 8 - April 3 - Takayama to Tokyo
Day 9 - April 4 - Tokyo
Day 10 - April 5 - Tokyo
Day 11 - April 6 - Tokyo to Kyoto
Day 12 - April 7 - Kyoto
Day 13 - April 8 - Kyoto
Day 14 - April 9 - Kyoto to Tokyo
Day 15 - April 10 - Tokyo to Narita Airport
Do you suggest a 14 day pass for this itinerary and on what day should passenger 1 activate?

Day 1 - March 26 (5pm) - Arrive Narita Airport, train to Tokyo
