7 Days in Japan

Hi Rich,

The JR Pass can be used for travel between all these places and also includes the day trips you plan to make. You will make fantastic savings compared to buying normal tickets.

Do keep in mind that the JR Pass is not valid for travel within the Hakone Region, here you could look at a Hakone Free Pass.

It terms of savings, have a look at this list:
Tokyo - Kyoto ¥ 13,600
Kyoto - Nara (return) ¥ 1,420
Kyoto - Hiroshima ¥ 11,090
Hiroshima - Kyoto ¥ 11,090
Kyoto - Odawara (for Hakone). ¥ 12,080
Odawara - Tokyo ¥ 3,740

For a total of ¥ 53,020 or ¥ 23,910 in savings as the 7 day JR Pass is ¥ 29,110

Hope this helps,
Daniel
