Dear visitor, if you know the answer to this question, please post it. Thank you! tokyo-nikko 2009/6/7 Nikko Hi, I am traveling to Japan 9-22 June, will stay in tokyo for a few days, I bought 7 days JR rail Pass in which I will activate on 15-22 June.(Will visit Kyoto and Hiroshima) I am trying to organise my itinerary and would like to visit Nikko. However, could anyone advise me as JR Tobu Nikko Kinugawa Free Kippu 7800, compare to one way ticket costs 5000 yen (http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3805.html). Is it cheaper just to get the Free kippu rather than using JR rail pass and have to pay 10000 Yen return trip? Many thanks for your help! by wittydais   ... 2009/6/7 Sorry, I don't understand the question. The cheapest way to get to Nikko is by Tobu from Asakusa: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e3805.html by Uji rate this post as useful =) 2009/6/7 thank you Uji-san, I will buy World Heritage Pass by wittydais rate this post as useful JR Pass 2009/6/8 you could use you 7 days JR pass by going to Nikko on the 15 then going from Tokyo to Hiroshima on the 16, visiting it on the 17, going to Kyoto early on the 18 and staying there on the 19, 20, 21, then back to Tokyo on the 22nd. Try to use the JR pass while in Kyoto to see the Fushimi Inari shrine one morning and Nara in the afternoon ( JR Kyoto-Nara line) . You can also use the pass for a short trip to Osaka. by Monkey see (guest) rate this post as useful JR pass 2009/6/8 Monkey see, I read abt the JR pass u had advice. It's really very good planned. I will use your plan cause I will be going in early July.. Thanx by leon70 rate this post as useful
