16 - 20/04/2014 Tokyo sight seeings & daytrips including Takayama & Mt Fuji
21/04/2014 check out early to depart to Kyoto. Check in Kyoto accommodation (location not decided)
21 - 23/04/2014 Kyoto sight seeings & daytrips

25/04/2014 check out from Miyajima. Travel back to Tokyo to catch 11:55pm flight at Haneda Airport.
How best can we use the JR Pass with this itinerary? Do we require other mode of transport?
