Tokyo>Mt Fuji>Kyoto>Osaka>Tokyo

Hello there,

Using a JR Pass from day 2-8 sounds good to me as well! In Kyoto I would recommend a visit to Arashiyama, walk the bamboo groves and see the monkey park. A visit to Fushimi Inari is also something I would not miss on any visit to Kyoto.

Other places I would suggest a visit to Kyomizudera temple.

For Osaka, a quick list would be Namba, Shinsai Bashi, Umeda and Umeda sky building, Shinsekai and Universal studio.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Thanks for the suggestions!

I'd also like to know if the JR pass works inside Tokyo, since we will be staying there for about 6 days, and want to go to odaiba, Daikoku Futo, Shin-Yokohama Raumen Museum, Tokyo tower, ghibli museum, akihabara, shinjuku, harajuku, takoyaki museum and possibly a few other places. Can we use the JR pass for those days or is it easier to get around by metro/bus?

Thanks!

Hi again!

The JR Pass covers the JR network in Tokyo full map here. Some places can't be accessed by JR alone and need additional transport such as Odaiba. Most other places are reachable by JR.

I would recommend familiarizing yourself with the JR Yamanote line, this is a loop line covering all major station (and many minor station) in Tokyo. Map can be found here.

Hope this helps too :)
Daniel
