Hi there,
I was wondering if someone could please advise which JR Pass would most suitable for the following itinerary. We'll be spending a total of 26 days if I counted correctly, so a 21 days pass would not cover the whole trip (or at the very least it seems like we would need to purchase an Osaka → Tokyo ticket separately.
I'm just wondering which would be a better option between:
1. Purchasing 2 x 14 days pass
2. Purchasing 7 days + 21 days pass
3. Stick with 21 days pass and just the Osaka → Tokyo tickets on top
Here's how the itinerary is looking like for your reference:
December 17(火)Tokyo (late arrival) 18(水)Sapporo *Start using JR Pass* 19(木)Sapporo 20(金)Hakodate 21(土)Aomori 22(日)Aomori → Hachinohe → Kuji 23(月)Sendai 24(火)Nagano (Yudanaka → Shiga Kogen) 25(水)Nagano (Yudanaka → Shiga Kogen) 26(木)Nagano (Shibu Onsen) 27(金)Nagano (Shibu Onsen) 28(土)Tokyo 29(日)Tokyo 30(月)Tokyo 31(火)Nagoya
January 1(水)Nagoya → Mie 2(木)Shirakawago 3(金)Shirakawago → Kanazawa 4(土)Osaka 5(日)Osaka 6(月)Osaka → Kyoto (Uji) → Fushimi 7(火)Osaka → Kurume (day trip) *21 days pass expiry* 8(水)Osaka → Kobe 9(木)Tokyo 10(金)Tokyo 11(土)Tokyo 12(日)Tokyo
Any advice would be much appreciated!
