Tokyo, osaka and kyoto by train

Hi there,

There are no regional rail passes that cover this area as it spans 3 main JR zones (JR-East, JR-Central and JR-West). So the only rail pass that would cover you is the countrywide JR Pass.

Looking at costs, the ticket cost of each of your legs is:

1. Tokyo > Osaka: ¥13550, (194mins, 556km)
2. Osaka > Kyoto: ¥540, (29mins, 42km)
3. Kyoto > Tokyo: ¥13020, (161mins, 513km)

TOTAL: ¥27110 for 4 legs

With a 7 day JR Pass ¥1190 more at ¥28,300, it may be worth buying if you plan on doing this trip within a 7 day period, and you think you'll do any more rail travel, for example to Nikko, or a day trip to Hiroshima from Osaka.

Hope this helps!
