Hi there,

Your plan looks very exciting! Based on your itinerary, I would recommend using a Nationwide 7-day JR Pass.

This pass will make your travel much easier, as you won't need to purchase individual train tickets for each trip.

Please note the following:
- You will need to make a seat reservation at a JR station when you take the bullet train. - The JR Pass doesn't cover non-JR trains, such as the Tokyo Metro or local city buses.

I hope this helps you with your planning!

Kind Regards,

Mariko
