We are a group of 6 to 10 people touring Japan in May 2024

3rd May - some of us Landing in Tokyo/Narita and taking a train to Kyoto. Others flying direct to Kyoto (Osaka)
The itinerary is as follows,r

Kyoto - 4 nights -( May 3,4,5,6 )
Fuji - 2 nights – (May 7,8 )
Tokyo - 2 nights(May 9,10 )–
 

Kyoto planning to visit;
1. Arashiyama Bamboo Forest
2. Nara Deer Park
3. Kyoto Botanical garden
4. Kodaji temple spring lightup
 5. Maruyama Koen Park 6. Fushimi minato park 
7. day trip to Hiroshima- may do it on the last day and then proceed to Fuji rather than to Kyoto

Mount Fuji – 2 nights – 7,8

  1. Oshino Hakkai 
  2. Gotemba Premium outletmall
     3. Lake Kawaguchiko
  3. Mishima Skywalk

Long distance train travel will be Narita to Kyoto on 3rd (only for some of us) , Kyoto to Hiroshima ?7th (we will have to store our luggage at Hiroshima rail station while we explore Hiroshima) followed by train ride to Fuji same evening ,Fuji to Tokyo on 9th. then some of us will transfer to Narita for flight back home . One couple (and 2 year old baby) will stay back for 2 more days to explore Disney land and Hello kitty world,
Any advise on this itinerary will be welcome.

Hi there,

A 7-Day JR Pass seems like a good option for the duration of your trip, as you'll be using the Shinkansen and have scheduled multiple day trips. The JR Pass also includes the JR Yamanote Metro line in Tokyo (Shinjuku, Shibuya etc.) but the rest of the metro there and in Kyoto is privately owned, so if you plan on getting around by public transport you should look into prepaid travel cards.

Hope this helps!

Hi Alexis,
Thank you very much for your response. Will the 7 day JR pass be economical for both groups and on what day should each group of people validate their passes. (one group Flying to Tokyo on 3rd May and travelling to Kyoto by train on the same day. The other group Flying to Osaka on 3rd and travelling to Kyoto ?by train (is there a better option) ,
