My husband and I are going to Japan for 17 days please have a look at our schedule to see if the pass is a good idea.

Day 1 arrive at Kansai Osaka airport take train to Nagaoya
Day 2 to 4 travel from Nagoya to Suzuka race track round trips each day
Day 5 Nagoya to Takayama return
Day 6 Nagoya to Hiroshima
Day 7 Hiroshima and Miyajima
Day 8 Hiroshima to Fukuoka
Day 9 Fukuoka to Nagasaki and back
Day 10 Fukuoka to Osaka
Day 11 to 16 Osaka to Kyoto, Nara, and Himeji
Day 17 Osaka to Kansai airport
So what do you think?
Thanks for all input.

Hi there,

That's plenty of travel. I made a list of normal ticket prices, since it is kinda fun to look at how much you can saving using a JR Pass.

Kansai Airport - Nagoya ¥ 7,850
Nagoya - Takayama ¥ 6,230
Takayama - Nagoya ¥ 6,230
Nagoya - Hiroshima ¥ 14,010
Hiroshima - Miyajima return ¥ 1,180
Hiroshima - Fukuoka ¥ 9,140
Fukuoka - Nagasaki ¥ 4,700
Nagasaki - Fukuoka ¥ 4,700
Fukuoka - Osaka ¥ 15,200
Osaka- Nara ¥ 800
Nara - Osaka ¥ 800
Osaka - Himeji ¥ 3,940
Himeji - Osaka ¥ 3,940
Osaka - Kyoto (return) ¥ 1,120

For a total of ¥ 79,840 or ¥ 34,740 in savings, as the 14 day JR Pass is ¥ 45,100. This is excluding every one way from Nagoya to the Suzuka race track, which is ¥ 1,060 / one way and covered by the JR Pass.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
