I was wondering if it is worth buying a JR pass for our up and coming trip as we are taking some "private railways". Also if we are going to buy our tickets individually? perhaps in one go at the beginning of our trip? how easy or difficult is this? and are there normally long queues? then if JR Pass is recommended when would we activate it?
Details of our trip:
12/04 Arrive Haneda stay Tokyo
13/04 Tokyo to Hakone-Yumoto
14/04 Hakone-Yumoto to Takayama
15/04 Takayama to Nagoya
16/04 Nagoya to Kyoto
18/04 Kyoto to Nara (day trip return)
20/04 Kyoto to Tokyo
21/04 Tokyo to Narita airport
Thank you very much for your help in advance.... Setta
