Hi all,
I'm planning to visit Japan from 24/06/2015 - 06/07/2015 inclusive.
We are thinking to do as below and would appreciate all the guidance all of you could provide us

24/06 - Arrive Tokyo Narita > Go to Kyoto

25/06 - Kyoto

26/06 - Kyoto

27/06 - Kyoto > Osaka > Back to Kyoto

28/06 - Kyto > Kobe > Back to Kyoto

29/06 - Kyoto > Hakone ( Assume the 2 days free Hakone pass will suffice? bad timing ropeway is closed due to earthquake.

30/06 - Hakone

01/07 - Hakone > Tokyo( Disneyland )
This part also no making sense. Do you know how big is Disneyland Japan? From Hakone > Tokyo City > Disney already wasted quarter day. Plus the Q .....you only utilize Disneyland around 30% only

02/07 - Tokyo - Is it worth going Disney sea?

03/07 - Shinjuku Will wonder around Tokyo
04/07 - Shinjuku
05/07 - Shinjuku
06/07 - Shinjuku (Flight is at 1050pm)
This part is no making any sense. You going Tokyo just for Shinjuku?

Yes, I'm sure heaps of similiar questions has been asked before the thread is so popular and long !
I'm grateful if anyone could entertain my questions.

Am cracking head on which type/pass of transportation to use to get around these places - JR 7 days pass?
Wasting Money. From your itinerary.  JR rail Pass very limited used at Kansai & Tokyo

Would like to experience shinkansen at least.

Also thinking of air bnb ( any suggestions much appreciated ) VS. hotels .

So far hotel seems to be same price or cheaper than air bnb ( air bnb provides wifis ).

We love food - so any cafes or restaurants recommendation are welcome!!

5/6 - Odaiba or Shibuya again?

6/6 - Narita (10AM)

Is my itinerary too tight?

From narita to gotanda, i found there is 2 timing for the Keisei line 8:21 and 8:44. which is the most realistic train for me to board? scare the immigration part take a long time.

For train u didnt take tokyo pass?

it seems there are 2 pass we need to get, if we get the pass.
tokyo metro pass, and jr east pass.

furthermore we will not be travelling extensively using the train.
so i figured using suica/pasmo will be cheaper.

arigato~

u can choose 1day/2days/3days pass
on average 1 trip cost around 200yen...
if u can ride more than 4times a day, can consider

i use alot coz i stay near subway station, everyday have to use

i love the subway 

Never used the local lines throughout my entire tokyo stay 

3day subway pass for 1500 yen was a steal

FYI, kons

what do you mean by local lines?
local line as if non jr-east line?

odaiba hv to paid separately, consider local line?

However, for passes like Yurikamome pass in odaiba which is monopolized by one company, then getting the pass may pay off depending on how many times you took the train.

Nop, Odaiba are not monopolized by Yurikamome.
still got Rinkai Line. but not good as Yurikamome.

That rinkai line negligible one 

Just want ask anyone been to Sapporo Snow Fest and is it worth to visit?
I plan to see snow/ice sculpture only, probably just at the Odori Park area and Susukino(?)
I guess since is 2 million visitors in 1 week, hotel gonna be expensive and people mountain people sea. R3ad that even eating also no place sit.
