Thanks alot! but would it be worth it if i combine the JR kanto pass and all-nikko pass? would the JR kanto pass be any worthy for the stay during tokyo?
Yes im staying over at utsunomiya for 2 nights and going to explore around nikko.
utsunomiya is still a distance from nikko. it is about 45min and 760yen from utsunomiya to nikko, and it is not covered by the nikko passes. will be better if u can change accom and staying in nikko if possible.
JR kanto pass will cover the trip between nikko and utsunomiya, however it doesn't cover the buses for getting around nikko.
these are the 2 options I can think of
option 1:
round trip by bus to kawaguchiko: 2 x 1750yen
all-nikko pass: 4520yen
travel between nikko and utsunomiya for 2 days: 2 x 2 x 760yen = 3040yen
total = 11060yen
option 2:
one-way bus from Shinjuku to kawaguchiko: 1750yen
JR Kanto pass: 8300yen
2-day bus pass for travel within nikko: 2000yen
total = 12050yen
seems like it is slightly cheaper to go with option 1. with option 1, u can also purchase the fujigoko enjoy ticket for 4350yen which covers the round trip between kawaguchiko and Shinjuku, as well as buses at kawaguchiko
