Hi,

I can't decide which is better for my itinerary 7 Day pass, 14 Day pass or some regional passes combined.
So here it is my itinerary:

23April arrive at Narita, then I will go to Kanazawa
24 - Kanazawa
25 - From Kanazawa to Kyoto
26 - Kyoto
27 - Kyoto
28 - Kyoto
During the days in Kyoto I want to to go during one day to
Hiroshima and Miyajima
29 - Kyoto to Osaka
30- Osaka
1 May - From Osaka to Yamanakako Mt. Fuji
Is the bus from Mishima to Yamanakako bus station included in JrPass?
2- Yamanakako
3- from yamanakako to Tokyo
4- Tokyo
5- Tokyo

So, I have done a lot of research in sites like hyperdia. But i can't decide which one is more suitable or if is possible to combine some regional passes.
And if any buses are included in my trip.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

A 14 day JR Pass is by far the best option. You're zooming all over Japan with the Shinkansen and will make great savings with the pass. There's also no regional pass (or a combination thereof) that covers all your travel, so the decision is easy :)

The bus the Yamanako is not included in the JR Pass but you can use the JR Pass for part of the trip there using trains (same for going to Tokyo).

Hope this helps,
Daniel
