Which 7 days should i use my JR pass on??

Hi,

This is how i plan for my itinerary in Japan. Was just wondering how i should plan to use my JR pass or should i get the 14 day pass instead.

3 days Tokyo (Haneda Airport) - 2 days Hakone/Mount Fuji - 8 days Osaka/Nara/Kobe/ Kyoto - Osaka Airport

And also is there other recommendations in Osaka.Thanks in advance.

  • Hi JUNEGAL

    If you are thinking about travelling between Tokyo and Kyoto and mostly stay in these two cities (for example arriving in Haneda Airport, and leaving Japan from the Kansai airport). The Japan Rail Pass will cost more than a Tokyo-Kyoto one-way ticket.

    Also, the JR Pass cannot be used once in the city, except for the Yamanote line in Tokyo. You can get a JR regional pass, Kansai pass, for travel between, Kyoto, Osaka and Nara. You can find more information on the JR Kansai Pass here: https://www.japan-rail-pass.com/pass-regional/kansai/jr-kansai-area-pass

    To be sure if the JR Pass is or isn't worth getting in your case please visit this website www.hyperdia.com.

    - In search conditions, write the departure and arrival locations
    - The search will provide you the fare for this travel
    - Do the same for all your trips by train
    - Just compare with the price of a JR Pass 7, 14 or 21 days
    (Check the price here: http://www.japan-rail-pass.com/)

    You want to be sure, you can access to this train with a JR Pass:
    - In “search details”, unclick “Nozomi, Mizuho, Hayabusa (shinkansen)” and “private railway”
    - The search result will show you all the trains you can access with a Japan Rail Pass

    Hope that helps.

    Best regards
