I'm heading over to Japan end of August and am planning to get out of Tokyo for a few days.
I've decided I will stay in Kyoto for 3 nights - plan to get an early train down and a late train back to Tokyo so i get close to 3 days time there.
I've read about the 500 yen bus pass and that seems to be the best way to get around Kyoto. Is there something like a go card or city pass like they have in the USA, that covers entry to a lot of sites? I've done a few google searches and not uncovered anything, but i might not be using the right terms.
I'm also thinking of doing a day trip to Hiroshima from Kyoto. Can anyone tell me if it's worth the extra effort. If so i think I'm stay an extra day.
Last question is about the japan rail pass. I'm thinking to get 1 if I go to Hiroshima. Do these also cover travel on the standard trains in Tokyo - like the metro system?
