I could book Hotel Granvia because its convenient location but not sure how loud the place is. What can JR passes benefit us in this case? Should we buy 1 week JR pass and then buy metro passes for the remaining 2 days? I know JR passes can't be used on Tokyo lines or Toei lines. Thanks.
Also will I get foreign transaction fees if I use a regular credit card to book for the rooms via US sites such as Booking.com/Priceline?
Sorry return here a bit late. You have had very helpful suggestions from this forum!
My bold. I meant Fushimi-Inari Shrine. Not to miss. However, be aware that some sections are somewhat hilly (but gently so).
Credit card "foreign transaction fees" are totally depends on the terms and conditions of the card that you use. So call card company to find out for sure.
