Hi .. We are a family of 4 (including 2 kids aged 12 and 15)
Finalized our Japan trip and it looks like this..
Day 1: arrive at Narita airport, travel to Tokyo, Shinjuku ( intend to buy 1 way train tickets for this journey)
General travelling within Tokyo. (Till day 6)
Day 6 activate one week JR Pass.. Use for Travel from Tokyo to Kyoto.
Possible day trip to Osaka while in Kyoto.
Day 10: leave Kyoto for Hiroshima (transfer at Shin Osaka?)
Day 12: leave Hiroshima for Narita (transfer at Osaka and Shinagawa?)
During our stay in Tokyo we plan to walk and use the subways ..
1/ Do you recommend the Tokyo subway 72hr ticket or suica/pasmo cards?
2/ Does it make sense to buy the 1 week JR pass or do you think the 14- day pass would be better for travel which then includes the first journey from airport to Tokyo plus within Tokyo..
3/ is my 12 year old entitled to a child fare on the Tokyo Subway? . Think we just missed the JR child cut off for him.. Am I correct?
Could you help with the above questions please?
