We were there last December. 10 of us. The youngest was 6 ( my niece). My daughter was 8. They enjoyed the teddy bear museum, the onsen, the ryokan and the food.

You can check out my trip review of central japan including Takayama and Shirakawago on pages 92 and 93 of this thread.

Hi all,


I would like to ask about the JR pass for tourist to Japan. May I check if I can use the JR Pass for train in Tokyo (Narita airport to Shinjuku, Odaiba, Ikebukuro, Shibuya, Tokyo Disneyland & also from Tokyo to Osaka via the bullet train-Shinkansen)? Can I say this 1 time ticket will allow me to travel around the places in Japan?

I am abit confused by the types of train. I would like to purchase the JR pass before my trip.

Can anyone help with my queries and also send me the link to purchase?


thank you

Depends on the type of pass your buy. The all Japan pass should cover all the train rides for these places except the disney line and the Nozomi Shinkansen. But do note that traveling within Tokyo, it will not cover the subways. So if you want to use your all japan pass, you can only use on the train lines eg the yamanote line within Tokyo is a train line but the marunouchi line is a subway line. The Narita express is covered by the all japan pass.
