  • Hi,

    If Osaka is the only major city you will be travelling to for a period of 3 days, then a 7 day JR Pass would be sufficient. The 7 days only begins once you have exchanged a voucher at a JR station,meaning the validity period will only begin from the 26th if that is when you would like it to start.

    As April is quite a busy period in Japan, due to the cherry blossom season, we generally suggest purchasing a Green JR Pass to increase your chances of getting a seat on a train.

    Although the trains are quite busy, Japan is absolutely stunning in April. You are sure to have an amazing time!

    Kind regards,
