Actually we queued up in JR office and bought our jr pass. Worth doing. All these agents in uk had bad to poor reviews in terms of delivery, after sales, price and complaints. So we decided to buy it at narita airport when we landed. Great. It covered the fair from airport (return) express to tokyo, shinkansen, jr local rails in kyoto, osaka, fujikawaguchiko and tokyo. Suggest you buy it at the airport.

To get to fuji is probably easier to take the highway bus at a little each cost, its 2,400 yen and about 2 hours each way. Returning to Tokyo then Shinkansen down works or you can go down to Shin-Fuji station and rejoin the Shinkansen there
@PrincessAndJuan Жыл бұрын
If you're smart with your money, about $4K should be enough. We're going Apr 28 - May 11 and we're estimating to spend around $2K each. With a daily budget of $60 each for food, that's $840 for food for $14 days. Adding the Shinkansens ($500) takes us to $1340. That still leaves over $600 for spending, other metro/transport fees, and activities. If we go over by a few hundred dollars, that's okay, but we don't anticipate it will be much more than $2K each. By the way, I'm talking in Canadian dollars, so if you're speaking in USD, plus you're traveling for less days, than you're definitely ok... Unless you like to splurge!
@lukastemberger6 ай бұрын
Can you update us how much you ended up spending? We're going in 2 weeks and I'm so excited. We spent $2300 for 8 days, room for two. And about $500 each for flights. I can't imagine spending more than $1500 each during this time. Unless I buy some electronics and stuff :)
