Japan Trip June 3rd - June 18th

Looper123 · May 2019

June 4th - 11th: Arriving in Tokyo. Staying in Tokyo (Shinjuku District), Travelling around Tokyo
June 11th: Going to visit Mt. Fuji for half the day (Fuji 5 Lakes area or the Hakone area [haven't decided or looked into much details yet of which area to go]) then later on the day head off to Osaka (Umeda District), where I'll be staying and have my hotel booked for 11th-18th
June 11/12th - 14/15th: Osaka to Kyoto. Going back and fourth to visit Kyoto for 2/3 days.
June 14/15th - 18th: Staying in Osaka and flying out from Osaka.

I was thinking of buying a 7 day Pass from 11th - 18th. Where it consists most of my travels throughout Japan. Is it worth buying the JR Pass 7days for those travels?

Kind regards

The short answer is No, not even close. You'd need to do a lot more traveling to make one pay off. But you could do it with a day trip from Osaka to Hiroshima/Miyajima, for example. Or from Tokyo to Sendai.

Bear in mind also that if you choose to go from the Fuji 5 Lakes area to Osaka, it will take way longer than from Hakone. For getting around the Lakes and a cheap bus to the area, try:
