18 nights in Japan with 2 travellers
First time in Japan
21st May - 8th June
Thinking of getting the 14 day JR pass
4 nights in Tokyo
Activate JR pass to head to Nikko 2 nights
Nikko to Takayama 2 nights (is this a crazy idea to go from Nikko to Takayama in a day?)
Takayama to Hiroshima 3 nights
Including a night in Miyajima
Hiroshima to Kyoto 4 nights
Side trips to Nara and Osaka
Kyoto to Hakone 2 nights
Hakone to Tokyo 1 night
Fly out night of 8th June
I have done the JR calculator and we come out about even with buying the pass vs not buying the pass and using local/buying as we go.
What I'd like an idea on is if the itinerary is too busy, especially the day from Nikko to Takayama and then Takayama to Hiroshima?
Any help or ideas would be gratefully appreciated.
