JR Pass to travel from Tokyo to Osaka-Hiroshima-Kumamoto-Sendai-Nikko-Tokyo

Hello,

I have a limited time in Japan so below is my itinerary.
Can you help me take a look and check it?

Day 1: Tokyo-Osaka
Day 2: Osaka -Hiroshima - Osaka
Day 3: Osaka-Kumamoto
[Option 1]
Day 4: Kumamoto - Osaka
Day 5: Osaka-Sendai
Day 6: Sendai
Day 7: Sendai-Nikko-Tokyo
[Option 2]
Day 4: Kumamoto
Day 5: Kumamoto - Sendai
Day 6: Sendai
Day 7: Sendai-Nikko-Tokyo
...

Which option is better and is it possible to travel with these itinerary with 7 days JR Pass? I had lived in Tokyo and Osaka before so no need to stay longer in these places.

Thank you in advance
Regards,
Kusa

  • Dear Kusa

    We suggest that you go with option 1 as the journey from Kumamoto to Sendai would be a very long train journey.

    To find the journey times and routes you can use this website, www.hyperdia.com.

    To be sure you can use the JR Pass, you need to un-ticket the Nozomi box and private railways in the search options section, as you cannot use these with the national JR Pass.

    Hope that helps.

    Best regards
