Konnichiwa,
I have a family of 4 travelling to Japan arriving Dec 19 to Jan 1st. We are planning to travel on these dates to the following places:
Dec 19 - Narita Airport to Tokyo
Dec 20 - Tokyo to Kanazawa
Dec 23 - Kanazawa to Hakuba Valley
Dec 27 - Hakuba Valley to Kanazawa
1) What would be the best rail pass to purchase? And do I need to buy this pass before I arrive in Japan?
2) It's getting close to our departure date and I'm worried I won't get it before I leave the US for Japan. Can passes be delivered to our hotel in Tokyo?
3) Since we are staying for 14 days and this pass is for only for 7 days, would it be much cheaper to purchase individual tickets for each trip? Dec 27 would be the 8th day, if we activated it on Dec 20th. Can I purchase one-way-trip train tickets from Hakuba to Tokyo?
I apologize for the many questions. Any guidance would be very helpful and appreciated.
Doumo arigato gozaimasu,
Jenn Edrosa
