7 DAY PASS – Cherry Blossoms Delights Itinerary During Spring is an amazing time to visit Japan, as many of the country’s parks and gardens become a mesmerising sea of pink cherry blossoms. Here is a sample 7-day itinerary for Japan Rail Pass holders who plan to visit Japan during the sakura season: Day 1: Narita Airport to Tokyo (Spend 2 nights in Tokyo) Upon landing at Narita Airport, swap over your Exchange Order voucher at the Japan Rail Ticket Offices found at any of the terminals. Your Japan Rail Pass fully covers the following journey from Narita Airport to Tokyo: ● ● JR Narita Express – This is the fastest and most convenient way. It requires a seat reservation, so be sure to make one (without any additional fees) when you exchange your JR Pass voucher. The one-way trip takes about an hour. JR Sobu Line – The journey takes about an hour and a half. 128 - Japan Travel Guide
