Osaka to TokyoHello, I'm wondering if it's worth it for myself and my husband to get JR passes while visiting Japan for 10 days in August. I used to be an expat living in Osaka so I have a general idea of how to get around but when I lived in Japan I never travelled on the JR lines. We are flying into Kansai and then spending a day in Osaka followed by 5 days in Nara with a day trip to Kyoto. Then we will go back to Kyoto to take the Shinkansen to Mt. Fuji for a night and then over to Tokyo for 4 nights. While in Tokyo we will do a day trip to Nikko. We are flying out of Japan from Tokyo. Do you think it's worth it to get the 7 day JR Pass? Thanks for your help! |

Hi there! Lets compare the cost of a 7 day rail pass (¥28,300) against the cost of JR tickets:
TOTAL: ¥26200 for 5 legs As you can see the total cost of JR tickets is less than that of the 7 day rail pass. Unless you do more JR travel than you have indicated, it will make most sense for you to use individual tickets as needed I think. You can look up precise train timetables and costs at the Hyperdia travel planning website and learn how to use Hyperdia through our video blog. Hope this helps! |
