9 days japan tour 2008/3/5 11:17
hi,
thanks for the advice in advance.

planning to travel from tokyo/hakone/hokkaido/kyoto.
buying a 7 days japan rail pass. does that mean that i can use the shinkansen to travel to all the mentioned places at no extra cost?

in addtion, if want to explore the hakone area, the hakone free pass price is not inclusive of the shinkansen fees rite?

lastly, i am in singapore, where can i get the rail pass since i was told i must buy the pass in advance and collect it at narita airprt.

lastly am reaching narita airpport at abt 5.30pm. what is the best way to get to my hotel at shinjuku area.

thank you very much once again.

Yes, but note that it takes more than 10 hours to travel to Hokkaido by train. You might not be able to fit it into 7 days. For access to Hokkaido, I recommend to consider an air pass:

That is right.

If your hotel is directly served by a limousine bus, I recommend to take the bus:

Otherwise, I recommend to use Suica&NEX and travel to Shinjuku by Narita Express:
