Hello,

My wife and I are planning on traveling to Japan to visit a friend from 11/12 - 11/24. We've made reservations at the following locations and are wondering if our JRAIL pass will work for travel between them:

On 11/12:
Depart: Tokyo Narita Airport
Arrive: 4-5-9 Aobadai Meguro ku Tokyo, 153-0042 Japan +81334675833

On 11/15:
Depart: 4-5-9 Aobadai Meguro ku Tokyo, 153-0042 Japan +81334675833
Arrive: Train station "Shin Iwakuni" in Iwakuni

On 11/19:
Depart: Train station "Shin Iwakuni" in Iwakuni
Arrive: 1-1-111 Sakurajima Konohana Ku Osaka, Japan +81664635000

On 11/23:
Depart: 1-1-111 Sakurajima Konohana Ku Osaka, Japan +81664635000
Arrive: 3-12-3 Akasaka Minato-ku Tokyo, 107-0052 Japan +81362296336

On 11/24:
Depart: 3-12-3 Akasaka Minato-ku Tokyo, 107-0052 Japan +81362296336 by 9:00am
Arrive: Tokyo Nartia Airport

As you can see, we have a lot of traveling ahead of us! :)

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Hi there!

For your hotel in Meguro, the nearest JR station is Shinjuku station. You should aim for here with your JR Pass and then transfer to the non-JR Keio line to do 1 stop to Shinsen station and then walk to the hotel.

For your hotel in Akasaka, the best option is to use the non-JR metro stop at Akasakamitsuke. You should aim for Yotsuya on the JR Yamanote line and then change to the red Marunouchi Metro line to do 1 stop south to Akasakamitsuke.

Here are a set of JR friendly itineraries for you to use. Note that I have assumed you'll start at JR Shinjuku or JR Yotsuya while you are at your hotels in Tokyo:

  1. Narita airport terminal 1 > Shibuya: ¥3,110 (85mins, 93km)
  2. Shibuya > Shin-iwakuni: ¥18,690 (381mins, 936km)
  3. Shin-iwakuni > Sakurajima: ¥14,490 (193mins, 488km)
  4. Sakurajima > Yotsuya: ¥13,550 (240mins, 570km)
  5. Yotsuya > Narita airport terminal 1: ¥1,450 (97mins, 82km)

JR ticket cost: ¥51,290 for 5 legs

You can look up precise train timetables and costs at the Hyperdia travel planning website and learn how to use Hyperdia for JR Pass holders through our video blog.

Hope this helps!
