Hi all,

Just looking for a quick itinerary check. (sorry it's super detailed).

Are we trying to squeeze too much in?
Will we end up spending our whole trip on trains? (Okinawa flights are already booked and cannot be moved)
Is the 14 day pass the best option for us, considering there are few journeys off-piste?

Thanks in advance!
Si

Hi there,

You do have a busy itinerary but it does work out well. Also because you travel so much, the 14 day JR Pass will still give you amazing savings. Especially with visit to Nikko and Hiroshima added in. The JR Pass will also nearly cover all your travel and the only part I see you purchasing additional rail tickets is from Osaka - Koya-san, this is however only a small part.

All looks great for the rest!

Hi,
For Koyasan, look into a Koyasan World Heritage Ticket. You'd still use the JR Pass to take you from where the Ticket leaves off to go on to Nara.
