Hi,
My friend and I will go to Japan this October. We planned to go to some places. The itinerary is as follows:
17 Oct - 20 Oct
Tokyo - Hokkaido - Tokyo
21 Oct
Tokyo - Kansai Area - Tokyo
22 Oct
Tokyo - Nikko - Tokyo
23 Oct - 24 Oct
Around Tokyo
Based on our itinerary above, i just want to know if we buy 7 - days JR Pass which cost approx 29,110 Yen each, can we ride all the trains or any other JR services by using this single pass? Or do we have to buy another JR Pass if the total of fares of the trains we'll be taking for the trip exceed the pass price. Eg:
Tokyo to Sapporo = approx 24,000 yen
Sapporo to Tokyo = approx 23,000 yen
I supposed that if we add up both price above, it will exceed the pass price hence, do I have to buy another pass for the other trip?
Is the pass valid if the total fares of a trip exceed it's price?
Kindly hoping for some explanation pertaining this as i am currently taking into consideration whether should I be taking flight to Sapporo or using the JR pass.
Thank you :)
