Happy New Year. Dear JR expert,
I will land on Tokyo on March 1 for the 3 week trip. Tentatively, I plan to stay in Tokyo for (5 days) then, go down to Kyoto (5 days), Osaka (3 days), and Hiroshima (2 days), then, most importantly is to go to Koya-san (2-3 days) before going south to Fukuoka for Busan (S. Korea). I need to travel a lot. I am thinking buy a JR pass I have three questions:
- Which JR pass should I buy for cost and effectiveness?
- Are the dates on the pass in a consecutive sequence, i.e., Once it is initiated, the dates will be counted continuously till it expired (it is not used in a number of days)? If this is the case, should I buy a number of passes?
- Does JR pass include metro rides in a city or cities?
Thank you very much for your answers in advance. And look forward to your reply.
