14 days winter trip: Tokyo-Kyoto-Nara-Osaka 2014/6/26 19:50
Hi all,

Below is my itinerary :-

Arrived TKY (Haneda)
Depart from OSA (Kansei Intl Airport)
Total 14days in Japan.

Day 1-2 : Mt Fuji and Haneda area
Day 3-5 :Tokyo
Day 6-10 : Kyoto
Day 11 : Nara
Day 12-14 : Osaka

1) Please advice do we need to buy bullet train tickets.
- If yes, please advice how many days pass do we need? How many it costs?
- Please advice where can we buy the cheapest bullet train ticket.

2) Based on above itinerary, please recommend
the budget hotels or apartment for 8pax as
we have limited budget.

3) Where is the best area for Ryokan (Japanese Style Inn with Hot Spring Resort)?
- Limited budget...

Thanks for your advice...

1. Don't use any pass, it won't pay off in your case. Just buy individual tickets. You'll have to buy them at the normal rate.

2. You can use business hotels, usually foind around large stations.

3. Hakone/Kawaguchiko is best based on your itinerary (it's in Mt.Fuji area). Ryokans are not cheap either way though.

I agree with aerond. Dont get a pass. You'll only need to get 1 shinkansen ticket from tokyo to kyoto. When i went, i got a ticket for the nozomi shinkansen. i believe it was 120 bucks. The nozomi is more expensive so im sure the regular shinkansen are a bit cheaper.

And here I thought Nozomi was the same price as other Shinkansens.

Aerond & Sylvaria,

Can you share with me the reasons of buying individual tickets instead to 7 or 14days pass?

Thanks & regards,
Grace
