Hi All,
My family has been wanting to go to Japan forever and we are finally ready to book. We are planning the travel from end of Sept to the first 2 weeks of Oct. My teenage kids are a big fan of all things anime and manga as well as lovers of the Japanese cuisine. I would like to visit the classics, get a culture immersion and enjoy the food. We have prepared a tentative itenary and would like advice as below:
* Is the itinerary too packed or doable and does it follow a logical progression keeping in mind travel between the locations?
* Is it recommended to visit both Hakone and Mt/Fuji five lakes area or either one will suffice? If only one, which is better to visit?
* Based on our travel, would a 7 day JR pass be recommended?
* Any other must do’s or recommended experinces for us?
