Hi
I am going to Japan in the end of July/beginning of August and I've been looking at a JR pass, but I'm not sure it will be worth it. I'll be in Japan from 30th of July until 17th och August. I plan on going straight to Kyoto from Narita when I arrive, and after that I'm going to Hiroshima to stay for a week before I return to Tokyo. This means I would need a 14 day-pass and I'm not sure if it's cheaper to have the pass or just buy regular tickets.
I'm also wondering if I can use the JR pass on the local transport, because I know I'll be taking the bus in Hiroshima daily and I would like to be able to use the subway in Kyoto and Tokyo.
