Hello,
I will be travelling to Japan this 30 April to 8 May 2016. Planning to fly to Osaka first, spend a few days, then Kyoto a few days and then Tokyo. Will fly back to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on 8 May 2016.
Was thinking of buying JR pass to be save up on the train rides.
My questions are:
i. If I take JR pass, does it cover Osaka to Kyoto train ride? I saw that from Kyoto to Osaka, I can take the Hikari line which takes about 160 minutes.
ii. If I have JR pass, can I use it in the train in the city? (Osaka, Kyoto & Tokyo). Or JR pass only cover the intercity trains (like Osaka - Kyoto, Kyoto - Tokyo, etc)
Appreciate your feedback. Thank you.
