Hi there,
I will be a first time traveler to Japan with my travel partner and we are very excited!
We are going in mid-March for 15 days and was wondering if it is necessary to obtain a 7 or 14 day JR pass? Also, is our itinerary too rushed as first time travelers?
Day 1: Arrive NRT 14:05
Day 2: Miyajima
Day 3: Hiroshima then to Osaka
Day 4, 5: Explore Osaka
Day 6: Osaka to Kyoto (staying 5 nights in Kyoto)
Day 7: Explore Kyoto
Day 8: Nara day trip from Kyoto
Day 9: Nagoya day trip from Kyoto
Day 10: Explore Kyoto
Day 11: Kyoto to Hakone/Gotemba (Kyoto to Yokohama to hire a car to drive to Hakone/Gotemba then to Ito?)
Day 12: To Tokyo (3 nights)
Day 13: Day trip Yokohama
Day 14: Explore Tokyo
Day 15: Depart NRT 15:50
Thoughts and suggestions very welcomed!
Thank you,
Natalie
