Hi,
I am going to Japan for 10 nights/11 days in November and here is my itinerary. Please see if it makes sense to get the JR pass for 7 days (planning to activate it when leaving tokyo to Lake Kawaguchi) .
OPTION 1:
Day 1- Arrive Tokyo
Day 2- Tokyo
Day 3- Tokyo
Day 4- Tokyo to Lake Kawaguchi
Day 5- Lake Kawaguchi- Kyoto
Day6- Kyoto
Day 7- Osaka (day trip) and back to kyoto @ night
Day 8- Nara (day Trip) and back to kyto @ night
Day 9- Kyoto to Tokyo
Day 10- Tokyo
Day 11- Fly Home
OPTION 2:
Day 1- Arrive Tokyo
Day 2- Tokyo
Day 3- Tokyo
Day 4- Tokyo
Day 5- Tokyo to Lake Kawaguchi
Day 6- Lake Kawaguchi- Kyoto
Day 7- Kyoto
Day 8- Kyoto
Day 9- Nara (day Trip) and back to kyto @ night
Day 9- Kyoto to Osaka
Day 10- Osaka
Day 11- Fly Home from Osaka
Option 1 and 2 is almost similar except option 2 will be flying home from osaka and spending another day in osaka. it will be my first time to japan and i am not sure which option is better and base on my itinerary, it is worth to get the JR pass for either option or both. Or is there a better option?
Hope to get some tips from you guys!! Thanks.
Best Regards,
Nig
