Hi Mari,
My husband & I are traveling from the U.S. to visit our son who is a student in Tokyo. While there, the three of us want to travel outside of Tokyo to see other parts of the country. Here's are tentative itinerary.
3/23/12 Travel from Narita to Tokyo
3/24/12 Spend day seeing Tokyo sights
3/25/12 Daytrip, Tokyo to Nikko
3/26/12 Daytrip, Tokyo to Kamakura
3/27/12 Bullet train to Kyoto for 3 days
3/28/12 Day in and around Kyoto
3/29/12 Daytrip, Kyoto to Nara
3/30/12 Kyoto to Tokyo for 1 night
3/31/12 Tokyo to Narita Airport for departure
Since our son is a student living in Tokyo, he doesn't qualify for the JR Rail Pass. He has a student pass for the Tokyo subway but will need tickets for Japan Rail. Do you offer student discounts? How much can we expect to pay for tickets for our itinerary? I am thinking my husband & I would buy a 7-day pass & use it 3/25 - 3/31. We'd have to get individual tickets the first couple of days we are there.
Any help/suggestions would be most appreciated :-)
Thanks so much.... Shea
