JR Pass: 7 or 14 days

Hi there!

In general a 7 or 14 day rail pass is only worthwhile if you do a lot of travel (something like a return Tokyo <> Osaka usually makes a 7 day pass worthwhile for example). Based on your itinerary you won't spend enough to make a 7 day pass cost effective and so I recommend you purchase single JR tickets as needed. Please note that if you decided to do a day trip, such as a return to Hiroshima while you are in Kyoto/Osaka, then a 7 day rail pass will certainly be a good choice.

Hope this helps!

Hi Mari!

You have really been a great help! In the end, my brother and I are thinking to visit Hiroshima as well. So we will take the 7 day pass. Thanks!!

All the best,
