Hi. My husband and I are travelling to Japan on our honeymoon. Our itinerary is as follows:
3 nights Tokyo
2 nights Tsumago
4 nights Kyoto (day trips to Osaka and Nara)
Leave from Tokyo
If we get a 7 day JR pass:
1) Would we use it much in Tokyo?
2) When would you suggest we activate it?
3) Is travelling back from Kyoto to Tokyo in one day OK? (Our flight leaves 8.30 pm). I read that on the JR pass it could take up to 8 hours and 3 to 4 changes, whereas the Shinkansen takes approx. 3 hours).
Also, does out itinerary look OK? We are not wanting to rush around too much and to base ourselves in a couple of locations.
Many thanks for your assistance!
