Tokyo/Kawaguchiko - 8 Days

luckily for you there is a new discounted return fare on the Narita Express 4000 Yen per Adult .. your children are young enough not to require a fare. https://www.jreast.co.jp/e/pass/nex_round.html

to get to Kawaguchiko by separate trains is also about 4000 Yen per adult so return is 8000 Yen per adult (A Kanto Pass is 8300 Per Adult) https://www.jreast.co.jp/e/kantoareapass/index.html

SHINAGAWA
JR Yamanote Line(Inner loop)
TOKYO Station
JR LTD. EXP KAIJI
OTSUKI Station
Fujikyu Railway
KAWAGUCHIKO

So I'd get 3 things .. a Narita return / A Kanto Pass and a Suica for general Tokyo travel
The cool thing about a Kanto Pass is you can use the Shinkansen too .. maybe a quick trip for the kids?
Enjoy!

Hello there,

I would also suggest using the Kanso Pass for this itinerary and use it to travel to Kawaguchiko back to Tokyo and see what else you can cover with it to maximize savings.

The other advise from @seki sounds great too, so I'd advise taking it :)

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi Seki and Daniel,

Thanks for the detailed info.
For the passes do i get them in my country or can i purchase it at Narita airport.

Another question is if i activate the JR Kanto pass at 10am on 6th May, when will be the card be deactivate?

Thank you in advance.

Hi Ling,

All rail passes are counted in full days and the 1st day is counted as a full day. The pass expires at midnight on the last day.

Say you activate 3 day pass on may 6th, it will then expire at the end of the day on may 8th.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

One more thing Ling - Yes you can buy all three at Narita.
If you somehow forgot you can also get the Kanto Pass at major(big) stations in Tokyo and Yokohama.
Suica can be topped up at any station.

Hi Seki and Daniel-san,

Thank you for the info.
I am looking forward to my first trip to Japan :)

Best regards,
Ling
