Hello,
I am planning to travel to Japan for 18 days in July. I have booked my flights and have a brief idea of the places I want to visit.
I am thinking about buying a JR Pass but am unsure of how many days I should buy and if it is appropriate for me.
This is my brief plan so far:
Day 1: Arrive at Narita airport 9:05AM, travel from the airport to Osaka
Day 2 - 3: Explore Osaka e.g Universal Studios, aquarium, ferris wheel etc.
Day 4: Travel from Osaka to Nara (not sure if I will spend a half or full day here)
Day 5: Travel from Nara to Kyoto
Day 6: Visit places in Kyoto
Day 7: Travel from Kyoto to Tokyo
Day 8 - 11: Day trips to places e.g. Harajuku, Akihabara, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Disneyland, Mt. Fuji
Day 12: Travel from Tokyo to Naeba Ski Resort
Day 13: Fuji Rock Festival
Day 14: Fuji Rock Festival, Travel from Naeba Ski Resort to Tokyo
Day 15 - 17: Visit places in Tokyo
Day 18: Travel from Tokyo back to Narita airport, departing 12:15PM
Does my plan sounds okay? If it sounds weird or if I am doing things in a weird order please let me know because it’s my first time travelling to Japan!
For the longer distance journeys, I was wanting to know if it better to travel in the day or night time?
If you have any other suggestions or tips please let me know.
Thank you!
