Hello there,

The JR Pass can be a big help when you plan to travel around Japan or between different regions using the Shinkansen (bullet trains). Local travel such as within Tokyo is generally also covered by the JR Pass but the cost is low and it is better to buy normal tickets if you plan to stay local. Hakone is also close to Tokyo and I'd advise normal tickets if this is your plan.

However if you do go to Osaka, then the JR Pass will make for a great deal. A normal return ticket alone between Tokyo - Osaka will pay for the JR Pass and now you get 7 days of unlimited travel for the same price.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hello Hellen,

1.) Its around 180 minutes between Tokyo and Osaka.

2.) A return tickets is 29,300yen

3.) It depends on where you want to travel in Hakone. A local ticket is around ¥ 1,490.

4.) Yes the JR Pass covers rail travel between Hakone and Tokyo as well. You'll have to buy normal tickets in Hakone itself.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
