Hi, Thank you for hosting this forum and answering my questions. It is very reassuring to have this resource to get clear and correct answers. I am traveling to Japan for the first time.
My itinerary
11-Apr Central Tokyo
16-Apr Urayasu Tokyo Bay
22-Apr Fujikawaguchiko (local line off of JR/Chuo/Ostuki)
25-Apr Mt Kaikoma (Ote, local line)
26-Apr Matsumoto
28-Apr Kanazawa
1-May Kyoto
4-May Osaka
8-May Tokyo
13-May Leave Tokyo
As you can see, I will spend a lot of time in Tokyo, and I will travel to a couple of locations that will require travel on local lines, not JR.
What JR rail pass would you recommend, and for how many days?
