Hello Daniel-san,
We are four adults coming to Japan in July with the proposed itinerary below. Is it worth it to get the 21-day pass? Does having the JR pass save time at the train station? Which stretches will require that we reserve seats? We expect that we will need an IC card for additional transport in Tokyo - can we get by with the JR pass plus a lot of walking in Kyoto and Osaka, or can we expect to need the metro in those cities?
12 - arrive in Tokyo (Narita)
13 - see Tokyo
14 - day trip to Nikko from Tokyo
15 - see Tokyo
16 - day trip to Kawaguchiko/Mt. Fuji area from Tokyo
17 and 18 - see Tokyo
19 - Tokyo to Hiroshima
20 - day trip to Miyajima
21 - Hiroshima to Toyooka
22 - day trip to Takeno
23 - day trip to Kinosaki Onsen then travel Toyooka to Kyoto
24 and 25 - see Kyoto. Maybe day trip to Kobe
26 - day trip to Nara
27 - day trip to Himeji
28 - see Kyoto
29 - Kyoto to Osaka
30 - see Osaka
31 - Osaka to Tokyo
1 - day trip to Kamakura
2 - depart Tokyo (Narita)
Thank you so much!
