Gyukaku is cheap and nice but I have heard that there are branches of Gyukaku worldwide now. Gyushige (牛繁), Anrakutei (安楽亭) are other Yakiniku chain restaurants that are easy to discover in central Tokyo. Branches are in Shibuya, Shinjuku, etc. Look for the signs :)

Should I just by a round trip ticket from Osaka to Tokyo for the 4 of us instead of buying 4 JR Rail passes? The Suica card will be sufficient for travel between Osaka and Kyoto but can I use it to get around Tokyo? Perhaps to Hakone for a onsen visit?
Answered 5 days ago
I would say Suica. I had a Suica card and could use it in Kansai area without a problem. But you cannot use the Suica card for Shinkansen train. For the other purpose, Suica was useful!

Yes, that is possible. There are some ways to get Tokyo by the taking the train.Take a train from Hakone Yumoto station to Odawara station -> then change the train for Shinkansen train to Tokyo.And another one is to take a Romance car from Hakone Yumoto to Shinjuku without transferring the train.

I would suggest Goura Onsen. The water of Goura has 5 different colors, and each of them has the virtue of a water. Because of each water has the different virtue, you probably will find the one that you need!
