Hello! We are a family of 4 (one child and three adults) We plan to travel around Japan, visiting castles, temples, shrines and gardens, theme parks, Mount Fuji and many other attractions. We have booked all of our accommodation and theme park tickets in advance and wish to keep our itinerary fixed.
We’re considering the 3-day Hakone Free Pass for our Mount Fuji visit. While staying near Tokyo Bay, we’ll have a free shuttle with our motel to Disneyland and DisneySea. We’re also quite fit and enjoy walking around and exploring, as well as taking trains. Based on this, which type of Japan Rail Pass or other pass would be the most suitable for our trip taking into account cost as well as ease of travel? We are aware that Golden Week and Showa Day are towards the end of our trip, so we want to make sure we can reserve seats on trains. Can you purchase regional pass ahead and reserve seats? Any recommendations and tips for traveling during Golden Week would also be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!
