Hi all,
After weeks of working on our itinerary, we've now finalised this and just need to purchase the JR rail pass, before doing so, we just want to ensure that buying the 21 days is worthwhile.
I've checked the Hyperdia website but it's a little difficult and confusing knowing which stations to select for some of the places we will visit as there are more than one with the same name.
If we purchase the 21 day pass, we would start using it on 15/10 for the Nikko day trip and finish at Narita Airport on 4/11 - is this correct??
Could you advise when the JR Pass is not able to be used please.
