Hi All,
We've already received our 7 days JR pass and would like to ask how we can fully utilize it. Me, my wife and our 5 year old daughter will be reaching Narita on the 10th November 2014 and we will be flying off on the 20th November 2014. Here's our propose itinerary which we need assistance:
10th Nov: Narita Airport to Matsumoto
- we would like to utilize our JR Pass straight away and take an overnight bus to Matsumoto. Is there any JR bus that does this? We are doing this cause we want to save money by not staying in a hotel for a few hours.
11th Nov: Matsumoto to Kamikochi
- we have already booked a stay in Kamikochi. Would like to know how to go to Kamikochi from Matsumoto?
12th Nov: Kamikochi to Lake Towada or Takayama
- we would really need advice on how to go to lake towards as we read that buses are not available to Lake Towada. Is this correct?
- if we can go to Lake Towada we will proceed to Takayama instead
13th Nov: Stay around Lake Towado or Takayama area
14th-16th: Kyoto
17th-20th: Tokyo
