Hello Japan experts!
I can't believe it's June already, and we head to Japan on 6th September. So this week I've been trying to pin down our touring plan and get hotels booked etc.
Here's our plan so far - i'd really appreciate any advice on whether we are missing a must-visit location, and whether the order we're thinking of makes sense in the time we have.
Sept 6th - Full day travel from UK to Tokyo
Sept 7th - Tokyo
Sept 8th - Tokyo
Sept 9th - Day trip to Mt Fuji from Tokyo
Sept 10th - Day trip to Kamakura from Tokyo
Sept 11th - Tokyo - train to Kyoto in the evening
Sept 12th - Kyoto
Sept 13th - Day trip to Nara from Kyoto
Sept 14th - Kyoto
Sept 15th - Nagoya, train to Tokyo in the evening
Sept 16th - Disneyland park
Sept 17th - DisneySea
Sept 18th - Fly back to UK
Hotels:
So far I've booked the following - all fully cancellable in case I find better alternatives!
Nishitetsu Inn Shinjuku, Tokyo
Kyomachiya Ryokan Sakura Urushitei, Kyoto - this is a newly opened Ryokan that is getting great reviews
One night in a pod hotel in Tokyo - just to try it!
Hilton Tokyo Bay

Some questions:
- Is the standard 7 day Japan Rail pass the best way for us to do our journeys? (Tokyo-Kyoto-Nara-Nagoya-Tokyo?)
- Has anyone done the Viator Mt Fuji day trip? Is this a good way to visit Mt Fuji or should we go it alone?
- Should we do a guided tour in Kyoto, and if so can anyone recommend one?
- Should we buy our Disney passes before we go?
- How easy is it to get from the Disney resort to Narita airport? What's the best way to do it?
