Hey guys,
Planning a trip for October and curious which rail passes would be most beneficial considering the itinerary of the trip. See below for a rough itinerary:
Tokyo 7 Days October 3-9
Sleeping Accommodation: Shinjuku
\–Shinjuku :
\-Night clubs/resturants
\–Shibuya
\-Shibuya Sky (2200 yen)
\-Tower Records visit

Misc Tokyo Activites
\-Ghibli Museum (28 mins by train, Mitaka) 10$
\-Akihabara (\~20 mins by train)
\-Joyopolis (\~40 mins by train, Minato City)
Nikko Day Trip (October 7 MAYBE)
Private Tour
If we get a tour, they will likely pick us up in the early morning from Tokyo, drive us to Nikko, then drive us back)
Yokohama October 8 Day Trip

\-Good souvenir shopping
\-Cosmo World
\-Cup Noodle Museum
\-Rinko Park

Kyoto October 9-13

\-North Kyoto
\-Gion (can be paired with Fushimi Inari Shrine?)
\-Arashiyama
\-Southern Kyoto
→Kyoto Station to Shinegawa station→Direct Haneda Airport on last day
Mostly just showing a mix of what we plan to do, and some spit-balled ideas shared via google doc between myself and the friends I’m going with. I’ve deleted a bunch of the information, as I’m sure that’s not incredibly important – but I’m sorry for the odd spacing, didn’t transfer well. Assuming we plan to do most of this, I’m curious what rail passes you think would be the most useful considering the time I’m there.
Thanks!
