We, 2 adults and 2 kids (Age: 9+ and 3+) will travel to Japan this coming May. Thinking to purchase 7 days JR pass for 2 adults and 1 child ticket. However, a bit confuse on the JR pass usage. Can please assist to look thru my itinerary and advice on the visible ways to reach the desire destination accordingly.
Day 1 KIX to Kyoto (JR Pass), and 1 day Kyoto day pass
Day 2 Kyoto – Tokyo (JR pass) - Ikebukuro (JR line) - Ueno, Zoological (JR line) - take Ginza Line to Asakusa to hang around at Sensoji temple area. Can I use JR pass?
Day 3 Ikebukuro -Tokyo - Disneyland via JR line? And buy 2 days monorail pass (for Disneyland and Disneysea)
Day 4 Disneyland – Tokyo - Ikebukuro (JR line?)
Day 5, Ikebukuro - Shinjuku-Mitaka-Shinjuku-Ikebukuro (JR Pass?)
Day 6 Ikebukuro to Shin-osaka, and visit to Dotonbori, Hozenji Yokocho Alley, Tenjibashi and Umeda, Is JR pass working here? or to purchase individual ticket?
Day 7 Shin-Osaka – Nara - Shinsaibashi-Suji Shopping st - Shin Osaka - KIX
Besides, some tourist spot entrance fees is FOC for kids 0-3 year old, (kids age 4-12= kids fare), if my girls is only 3+, do i need to purchase entrance ticket for her too?
Appreciate for your kind advice.
