Konichiwa JRPass team,
My itinerary looks roughly like this:
11-12th Tokyo
12-14th Takayama (trip to Shirakawago)
14-18th Kyoto (1 day trip Hiroshima)
18-20th Hakone (trip to Mt Fuji possibly)
20-23 Tokyo
Would you recommend a 14 day JR pass, if not what is the best other option for travel between places?
Thankyou very much.
Hi there,
I wouldn't recommend a 14-day pass for you as travel to Shirakawa-go is not directly covered by the JR Pass and your itinerary is relatively small meaning the cost wouldn't be worth it. My suggestion would be to purchase your tickets individually - to find a variety of routes and directions for travel between places I'd recommend using the 'Route' section of the Japan Travel website.
Hope this helps!
Alexis
Hi Alexis,
Thanks for your response and help. Can you book tickets individually on the day or do you have to book in advance?
Hi there,
You can do either and a lot of people opt to book them on the day.
Kind regards,
Alexis
