Hi,
We will be arriving in Tokyo (Haneda) on Friday March 21st this year. Upon arrival, we will be staying in Tokyo from the 21st to Tuesday the 25th. From there we will be traveling to Kyoto and going between Kyoto and Osaka until the 29th. Our plan is to return by train to Tokyo on the 29th where we will be flying out of Narita.
Arrive at Haneda on the 21st
Tokyo from 3/21 to 3/25
Kyoto/Osaka 3/25-29
Leave on 3/29 from Tokyo Narita
My question is what is the best pass I should buy to accomplish this travel? We will be there a total of 9 days, should we purchase a 7 day rail pass and activate it on 3/23 and just use suica to get around Tokyo until then? Is that the most cost effective way to travel? Also, would the pass cover our travel between Kyoto and Osaka?
Would you advise rearranging our plans and staying in Tokyo the night before we leave rather than leaving Kyoto the day we fly home? Your advice is much appreciated!
