My wife and I are headed to Japan in 6 weeks for a two week honeymoon! We have not been there and are so happy and so excited to see the cherry blossoms. It's a dream come true!
I know it's been asked before but...
We have booked all of our accommodations but need to coordinate the transportation. I realize the train schedules are google-able but please help us with any other ways to understand the best way to utilize and bus stations and schedules. It's not easy understanding the travel time between cities, any assistance with recommendation would be appreciated. We are also trying to understand if we should use a 7 day or 14 day Japan Rail Pass.
Additionally, beyond transportation we are open to any other suggestions (restaurants, things to do, etc) at each of destinations below. Perhaps there are SECRET places that are not online or not well known.
Below is our itinerary.
March
25 - Los Angeles
26 - 28 Tokyo
29 - Hakone
30 - Osaka
31 - Koya-san
April
1 - 3 Kyoto
4 - Kanazawa
5 - Kanazawa - day trip to Shirakawago
6 - Takayama
7 - 8 Tokyo
9 - Los Angeles
Thank you in advance for your assistance!
