Hi there,

Your itinerary works technically but please take note of the following:

1.) Travel from Kawaguchiko to Hiroshima takes about 444 Minutes which is almost 8 hours of non-stop train travel. A better option may be to visit a station to view Fuji from which is directly on the route Tokyo - Hiroshima such as Hakone (Odawara station) or Shizuoka.

2.) On day 7 I'd recommend either going to Osaka or Kobe, both places have enough to keep you busy for weeks and it would be a waste traveling around when you can enjoy either city.

Hope this helps!

Hi Daniel-san,
Thank you.
Another question,
If I remove Hiroshima from above itinerary, would it still makes JR pass the better option compare to buying individual ticket?
Thanks a lot.

Hi again,

Without Hiroshima I think that it would be better to buy normal tickets as you travel.

Hope this helps too!
