Thanks that exactly what I would do. gives me a middle road way.
On another subject for a moment, I would like to do some type of a day trip (not tokyo or kamakura) . I looked at Hakone but it seems a bit too expensive to get to ( about 4000 RT or 5000 with the pass). Is there any scenic spots like hakone but perhaps a bit cheaper on the transoprtation side either from narita or tokyo?
