Hey everyone! I’m drafting our upcoming trip to Tokyo-Nagoya-Osaka. Any thoughts, please? I’ll be traveling with 3 adults + 1 toddler (3 y/o), total of 5 pax. I kept it very simple as travelling with a kid can be fussy. Our trip revolves around my wife+me watching Taylor’s concert and me+her again watching the NJPW PPV in Osaka and a Prenup Shoot during Shirakawa-go Light up.
We booked a 7-Day JR Pass (Green Car). Our hotel in Ueno is around 10 minutes away from Ueno Station while the Nagoya Hotel is around 3 minutes away from Nagoya Station.
1. My #1 concern is when to take a taxi, we’re technically 5 pax so I don’t know if there are 6-seaters taxi around?
2. Another thing is what if I move the activation to Day 3 so I can use JR Pass on the way to KIX?
