Hi, advice needed re: itinerary and suitability of getting 7day JR pass and IC cards.
My itinerary is as follows:
Day 1: Tokyo Narita airport -> N'Ex to Tokyo station -> Shin-Osaka via shinkansen using JR pass
Day 1 to 3: Explore Osaka castle, dotonbori, shinsekai, shinsaibashi, umeda, Universal Stuios (should I buy the Kansai One Pass? Or use the JR pass on JR lines and buy single trip tickets?)
Day 4: Day trip to Himeji (is JR pass sufficient or do I need to purchase other train tickets?)
Day 5: Osaka to Kyoto via Shinkansen. Explore Kyoto Kiyomizudera and Gion (is Kansai One Pass still useful here?)
Day 6: Day trip to Hiroshima and Miyajima (is JR pass sufficient or do I need to purchase other train tickets?)
Day 7: Kyoto to Tokyo via shinkansen
Day 7-10: Explore Tokyo (should I buy the Suica card?)
Day 11: Shibuya station to Narita airport (I will have to buy one way ticket on the N'Ex right?)
Thank you for your kind assistance!
