Hello Daniél

Here are the right names

29/9 to 1/10 tokyo
1/10 to 5/10 Aomori
5/10 to 9/10 Machuoto
9/10 to 12/10 osako
12/10 to 15/10 tanabe
15/10 to 20/10 kyoto
20/10 to 25/10 Atami
25/10 to 26/10 Tokyo

should we take the jr east pass tohoku area and then continue with a 3 weeks all regions pass? or should we start with the all regions and then at the end take normal tickets?
And another question as we arrive early in the morning we took a hotel from the night before already so we can check in early. I did send a message to the hotel telling them but i am still afraid they maybe didnt understand and will treat it like a no show or am i worrying for nothing now?

thanks in advance

Hi there,

Sorry for the delay in response, I've been zooming around Japan on the bullet train myself for the last few days.

Machuoto = Matsumoto? In general, I do find it hard to match a pass to your travels, this due to the fact that you are having longer breaks in between travel.

That said, I think your best option would be a 21-day JR Pass for:
0 to 5/10 Aomori
5/10 to 9/10 Machuoto
9/10 to 12/10 osako
12/10 to 15/10 tanabe
15/10 to 20/10 kyoto
20/10 to Atami

and then lastly, normal tickets back to Tokyo. Also because the JR Pass will give you a lot of extra flexibility, and it would be easy to add day trip, such as a day trip from Osaka or Kyoto to Hiroshima.

As for the hotel, I think it will be okay but just give them a call to confirm.

Kind regards,
Daniel
