Hi, have some questions about a 20 days visit in Japan:
day 1 and 2 arrive at kix (15 hours of travelling) in the morning at 9am: buy passes, exchange vouchers at airport, pickup wifi then to hotel in Chuo ward , visit Shittenoji, Sumiyoshi Taisha, dotonbori, namba areas. (maybe more if choosing Osaka Amazing pass and the pass would pay off and if it's doable in 1 or 1,5 days). (of course depending on the time spent on the different locations)
days 3: to Mount Koya with overnight stay day 4: to Kyoto (staying close to Sanjo station) day 5: Kyoto sightseeing (to Ginkankuji and walk to Kodaiji, catch some temples along the way -Honen-in, Nanzen, Heian), have lunch on this route. In the early evening go to Fushimi Inari (if my itinerary/time schedule allows it) day 6: see Nijo castle in the morning.. catch train to Hikone (on 14 day rail pass starting on day 5 already just because cannot use it on my last day in Japan).
What about: day 1 use icoca Haruka? (can use the icoca card later too) day 3 Koyasan Heritage ticket? (3400 with limited express to koyasan, normal express back) day 4 Is it a good time to pass through Yoshino? Maybe little early for Hanami?
Use Kansai 3 day Thru pass (1,3,4) if I pass by Yoshino on my way back to Kyoto? (Hashimoto to Yoshino) if not a good time for Yoshino I will do some extra sightseeing in Kyoto (bus pass or otherwise). what about the extra fees for trains.. koyasan to Yoshino: how to arrange that if NOT using Koyasan heritage ticket?
any other options/passes? arrival time, hotels/temple lodging are set.
as for early April: Hakone. Staying 2 nights near Hakone Yumoto.
day trip to Kawaguchiko area Chureito Pagoda back to Hakone Yumoto. Is it doable on 1 full day? (Limited buses at that date?).
Will do the Hakone tour on the day I arrive from Shinjuku on day 1 (shinkansen). Leaving from Odawara at day 3 (in the morning to Osaka with a stop in Shizuoka).. to arrive at Kix at 21:59 (with Haruka from Kyoto) to fly off in the morning..
Thanks in advance... TomVDB

I Love Kyoto.So if you stay 20 days in Japan,You must stay at least 5 days in Kyoto.Here I recommend One Transportation pass which cover JR,Non JR,subway.This is really worth to Buy.Kyōto Aruku machi rail kippu 歩くまち・京都レールきっぷ2日=2000円.valid on Keihan ,Hankyu Railway, Randen (Keifuku Railway).
