Is there anywhere else outside of Tokyo that would be nice to visit that we can stop at coming back from Kyoto in order to utilize the JR pass a little better? To make it cover the travel back to Narita Airport on Day 10, you can activate your 7-day JR Pass on Day 4 at earliest.
I guess youfd better set a trip to another place before Kyoto than on the way back from Kyoto.
If you come back from Mt. Fuji with all the things going well and still have enough stamina, or if unfortunately you cancel Mt. Fuji trip due to bad weather, then you have an option to tour another place. If something delays your coming back or you get too tired, you can give up the option and can lessen the number of the sites you visit in Kyoto.
If I am asked where Ifd like to visit on my 7-day trip in this summer other than Kyoto - Osaka - Nara area, my answers would include Yokohama.
- Expo Y150
