Hi there,

Yes, the JR pass is valid for all your destinations. You can use Hikari bullet train between Tokyo and Kyoto/ Osaka instead of Nozomi.

I calculated your cost. For your itinerary, 7-day JR pass 29,110 JPY will be cost-effective choice. You can use Suica or Pasmo card first 3 days and activate your pass on Day 4 when you are going to Kyoto.

-Tokyo to Kyoto 13,600 JPY
-Kyoto to Nara 1,130 JPY
-Nara to Osaka 800 JPY
-Osaka to Odawara (the nearest JR station of Hakone) 12,620 JPY
-Odawara to Tokyo 3,740 JPY

I hope this helps,
Tomomi

Hi Tomomi,

Thanks for your prompt reply. Another question is, I'm staying nearby Shin-Okubo. Which nearest station should i go to depart for the shinkansen to Kyoto. Thanks.

Hi there,

You can take Yamanote line from Shin-Okubo to Shinagawa and change to bullet train to Kyoto there.

I hope this helps,
Tomomi
