confirm that 7-day JR pass is worth it?Hi all, Need help to confirm that a JR pass will be useful for the following itinerary:
Still considering to go Kyoto on Day 2 or 3? In both cases, a 7-day JR pass is ok right? |

Hi there, Yes, looking at your itinerary on Hyperdia train planner you'll save a lot by using the Japan Rail Pass. The main costs for your trip will be on the following legs based on starting your rail pass on day 3:
So the calculation to make is: Ticket prices (¥51,600) - 7 day Japan Rail Pass (¥28,300) = ¥23,300 saving with the JR Pass (I didn't include minor travel like local trains to/from Nara and the ferry to/from Miyajima - they are free with the JR Pass). About which day you plan to go to Kyoto, I'd probably do the same and go to Kyoto on Day 3 to maximise the value of the Rail Pass with your Hakone trip. You'll also need time to recover from the flight in, so waiting to Day 3 to begin your exploring makes a lot of sense. Hope this helps! M |
