Hi there,

While a couple of days are not completely clear to me (D8 and Day14). I did look at the route and general and and a look at the cost of ticket prices. Even though I did not expect this, the price of normal ticket prices is below that of the cost of a 14 day JR Pass. A 7 day JR Pass could be useful if you were to change the planning a bit and cover Takayama - Kyoto - Hiroshima/Miyajima - Kansai with it.

Kyoto and Osaka are close together and it does not really matter what order you visit them in.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi Elaine3848,

I do think that a 7 day JR Pass is an interesting option for you, if you use it for the following:

Takayama - Kyoto ¥ 10,260
Kyoto - Himeji ¥ 5,470
Himeji - Hiroshima ¥ 8,490
Hiroshima - Miyajima (return) ¥ 1,180 (return)
Hiroshima - Osaka ¥ 10,430

For a total of ¥ 35,830 or ¥ 6,720 in savings, as the 7 day JR Pass is ¥ 29,110.

For the rest I would just buy normal tickets, or local passes.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
