Hello, why wife and I have JUST started planning a 12-14 day relaxed Japan trip next month. We are hoping to visit Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Shizuoka, Tokyo, and optionally Hiroshima. We have made a bucket list of attractions for each location. Both of us are senior citizens, and the only Japanese word we know at this time is Sayonara. We are mobile, but my wife might not be able to walk for long distances especially on uneven surfaces. We have a few questions that might help us with the planning.
- Will a Regular JR Pass might be most convenient and economical for us?
- How do we know which Shinkansen / JR Rail trains are available to a Regular JR Pass holder to above locations, and which ones are not?
- If we know the attractions we are interested in, is there any App that can help suggest some hotel / Air BNB recommendations within a price range, and close to a JR Rail serviced station?
- I could not locate any rail time table on the JR Rail site. Is there any other iOS site/App that will carry this information?
- Which is the best English Language Travel App for travel inside Japan?
If anyone has any suggestions on any of these questions, we will much appreciate if you can share with us.
