Travel to Japan

Hello Maria,

Doing Tokyo - Osaka - Kyoto - Tokyo and maybe even a day trip somewhere works perfectly fine for a 9 day period. The JR Pass also is a great help as it covers travel between all of the above places and you just need one tickets for all your travels.

We also have a 7 day example itinerary that you may like and looks very much like the plans you have, with a visit to Nara added in.

As for trains you can use the Bullet trains directly from Tokyo station to Kyoto and Shin-Osaka stations. There are local services connecting Shinjuku directly to Tokyo station.

In terms of days, you could do something like.
Arrival 1st day and night in Tokyo.
Day 2 Osaka
Day 3 Osaka
Day 4 Kyoto
Day 5 Kyoto
Day 6 Kyoto/Nara
Day 7 Tokyo
Day 8 Tokyo
Day 9 Back home!

Hope this helps,
Daniel
