What type of pass do you recommend for traveling within the city of Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka?
Will a national JR Pass pay off - if yes, when should I activate it?

will the jrpass cover all the intercity travel, local travel within Kyoto Osaka hakone Tokyo (underground bus etc). how much extra will we have to pay extra we need to pay . please advice how do we do about should we take a 14 day pass or a 7 day pass(19 to 25 march) and there after normal and also will it be a busy time so shall I opt for a green pass as I am travelling with a six year old child
thanks in advance

Hi Parul,

Travel to Kyoto, Hiiroshima, Himeji and Osaka is quite expancive and using a JR Pass for routes like these is where you can make big savings, compared to purchasing normal tickets. So much so, that I recommend using a 14 day JR Pass.

The JR Pass covers all JR lines nationwide, including local networks in cities such as Tokyo and Osaka. Other transport such as the Metro, non-jr busses and so on are not included. This does not take away that the JR Pass will offer great value for everything that is included. I don't think that you would need Green Class but the added comfort is of course nice to have.

You could activat the JR Pass right away at Narita Airport.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
