Looking for advice for 1st time visitor who is also meeting japanese family for the first time! I have 14 days in Japan. I think a JR pass (7 or 14 day?) plus a Haneda Monorail+Suica pass would be a nice idea. Not knowing much about my elderly japanese relatives, I am thinking of the following:
Days 1-5 Arrive Haneda, monorail to Tokyo, meet relatives and sight-seeing
Day 6 Yokohama to visit with a friend and leave for Kyoto
Days 7-10 Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima
Days 11-13 back to Tokyo, say good-bye to relatives and finish sight-seeing
Day 14 depart early morning from Haneda
I'm most unsure of Days 7-10 and what to do. I think Hiroshima would be wonderful to see.
Thoughts or suggestions?
