Day 1: Land in Narita and head into Tokyo. Look around neighborhood
Day 2: Take train to Kofu, drop off luggage. Free day. Look around neighborhood and maybe take the train Lake Kawaguchi
Day 3: Rent a car and drive to Lake Motosu and Minobu town. Drive back to lodging at Kofu
Day 4: Take train back to Tokyo. Free day. Thinking of checking out the Teamlab Planets Exhibit now that’s it’s being extended
Day 5: Travel around Akihabara
Day 6: Free day. Maybe Akihabara day 2 if I have enough on Day 5, find something else to do
Day 7: Fly out
As for my question about the JR, I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. The one that goes to Kofu seems to be the JR Tokyo Wide Pass (10,180 yen, 3 days). But I also heard there’s a price increase coming in October. So to keep the current price and use it on 12/25, I’d have to buy the pass in the period between 09/25 and 10/01 right?
Additionally, is there any thing I should keep in mind with renting a car and driving in Japan?
