Greetings.
I have been to Japan several times with my husband, who is able to get us around easily. This time I'm going with a girlfriend and am concerned about getting from one place to another. Our plan is to go to Takaragawa Ryokan from Tokyo and I think we can manage that via train and bus. But from there we'd like to go to Monkey Park (my favorite place on earth) and another ryokan near Monkey Park, probably in Yudanaka. Then perhaps to Shirakawa-go and then to Narita City. Will we be able to do all this by train (without going back to Tokyo) and should we get a JR pass?

Thanks so much for any replies and suggestions.
