1.) What do you think of the overall plan? Is it too taxing and am I missing out on certain areas which I should visit? I am not too much into shrine visits and prefer scenery.
2.) Am I using the 7 day Jr pass well enough? I used google map to estimate the train trip durations, did I get it correct?
3.) From Hakone to Tokyo, could anybody recommend an area In Tokyo city to stay which is not too far from Hakone or disneyland? Don’t think I want to stay near Maihama though which I know is near Disney land. I can only think of Tokyo station area.
4.) I was actually prepared for a 10 day visit but it seems I can do it in 9 days! Any suggestion how I replan to put in an extra day somewhere if necessary?
