Will be in Tokyo for the next few days, then I was thinking to do Nikko
as a daytrip, then go to Mt Fuji, perhaps Ise, perhaps a side trip to
Kanazawa, Kyoto/Nara/Osaka and Hiroshima.

You definitely want the pass for Tokyo-Kanazawa-Kyoto-Hiroshima-
Tokyo. The fares add up very quickly on longer trips. You should
probably get the 14-day pass unless you plan to do all that in 7 days.

However, if you do plan to do the above in 7 days, then get the 7-day
pass, since the longer pass won't pay off for Tokyo itself or for day
trips around Tokyo.

Which pass do you mean - the Japan west one (is it the Kansai?) ?


I'm not familiar with the East and West passes - but check carefully
which cities they cover. I think you would need the regular Japan
Rail Pass for your planned itinerary.
