Hi,
Would appreciate some advice on the type of JR pass for my visit to Japan. We are staying 9 days in Japan but in between we will visit Kyushu where private transport will be arranged. As the 7 days JR pass has to be used consecutively, effectively we can only use it from 4 to 7 Dec or 29 Nov to 5 Dec. I've done some research and it seems like I would only use JR trains extensively for travels to Nara and Magome (shinkansen). Is it worth it for me to get the 7 days JR pass or buy the individual tickets? Or is there a better JR pass that can better cater to my needs? Thank you
29 Nov - 1 Dec : Tokyo (staying near Higashi Ginza station)
1 Dec: From Tokyo take flight to Kyushu
1 - 3 Dec: Kyushu (No requirement for train/bus transport)
3 Dec: From Kyushu take flight to Osaka
Staying at Osaka (near Tennoji station), we will travel to these places daily, to and fro Osaka:
4 Dec: Magome and hike to Tsumago
5 Dec: Nara
6 Dec: Kyoto Arashiyama
7 Dec: Travel around in Osaka
