7 day JR pass

Hi there,

I do think a 7 day JR-Pass would be beneficial for your travels, it is about the same price as a return Tokyo Kyoto/Osaka. Any additional travel you do with it basically becomes free! For instance you can use it to travel between Kyoto and Osaka, local JR lines in Osaka and to Narita Airport.

The travel time by bullet train between Tokyo and Kyoto is about 160 minutes, between Kyoto and Osaka 30 minutes by normal express train and about 180 minutes from Osaka to Tokyo by Shinkansen.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
