Must we buy a rail pass?

Hi Sylvie,

For this route it would make more sense to simply buy normal tickets as you travel. A JR Pass works well if you make a return Tokyo - Kyoto or Osaka. In this itinerary you travel one way and it would be bes tto simply buy tickets as you go.

Tokyo is quite big and traveling to Haneda can still cost quite a bit by Taxi. My preference would still be public transport, although costs are not that high if you share a cap with 4.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
