Hi there,

Looking at your itinerary, it would be more economic to buy normal tickets than a JR Pass. This is because the amount of ticket cost is simply lower than the cost of a JR Pass.

I also recommend learning to Plan with Hyperdia this way you can find any route yourself.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for the replied!

I used the JR fare calculator, it showed that my savings as below :

Your Itinerary: 31,520 JPY

7 days JR pass: 29,110 JPY

Your savings with JR Pass:2,410 JPY

Are you able to list down why my itinerary is more economic without JR?

Please advise thanks.
