JRPass

Tokyo - Kyoto - Hiroshima

Hi,

I am travelling to Japan this summer and wonder whether I can use a Japan rail pass to travel from Tokyo - Kyoto - Hiroshima? My intended travel is as follows:

• Tokyo to Kyoto on the 22nd July,
• Kyoto to Hiroshima on the 28th July, and
• Hiroshima to Tokyo on the 31st of July.

Would the Japan rail pass be the cheapest option? How long do these journeys take approximately?

While I am in Tokyo (where I am staying for around 5 days) , I intend to travel mostly by metro. Is there a weekly pass that I can buy? If so, how much does it cost? I am also travelling to and from Narita airport. Can I travel to and from Narita airport using one of these tickets, or is there a ticket that I can buy that will be cheaper?

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks.
