My Trip Itinerary- Should I get JR Rail Pass?

Hi,

My boyfriend and I will be travelling in Japan for a total of 12 days. Based on our itinerary below, I was wondering if it would be worth getting a JR Rail Pass.

Japan Itinerary:
July 7- Land in Narita and Fly to Sapporo
July 8- 11 : Hokkaido (and other nearby cities)
July 11: Fly Sapporo to Tokyo, spend day/night in Tokyo
July 12: Train from Tokyo to Kyoto
July 12-15: Kyoto (and other nearby cities)
July 15: Train from Kyoto to Tokyo
July 15-18: Tokyo
July 18- Fly out of Tokyo

Does it make sense for us to buy the JR Rail Pass (7 or 14 days)?

Thank you!

    Hi,

    Although you are flying to and from Sapporo, you will still be using the train quite a lot. We would still advise purchasing a Japan Rail Pass (14 days) to cover your entire stay. You will be able to do your side trips will in Hokkaido, as well as travel to and from Tokyo and side trips in the Kansai area.

    Kind regards,
