Dear Daniel-san,

I have the following trips within my 10 days Japan visit. Can you check to see if it is worth to get a 7-day JR Pass for the visit? In particular, can you advise me on which trip(s) should I make seat reservations in advance and where and how far in advance I should make the reservation(s).

April 2, 2019: Narita Airport to Tokyo-Ginza, in the afternoon April 3, 2019: Tokyo to Kyoto, in the early morning April 4, 2019: Kyoto to Osaka, in the late evening April 7, 2019: Osaka to Himieji, in the early morning April 7, 2019: Himieji to Kobe, in the afternoon April 7, 2019: Kobe to Tokyo-Shinjuku, in the late evening April 11, 2019: Tokyo-Asakua to Narita Airport

Thank you so much in advance どうもありがとうございます.

Regards,

Paul

Hi Paul,

A 7-day JR Pass would work well here, going to Kyoto, Osaka, Himeji, Kobe and back to Tokyo. You can use the Shinkansen between most of these cities and it will help you make good savings.

The longer trips Tokyo - Kyoto and Kobe - Tokyo are the trips I would reserve 1-2 days in advance. While there are likely more than enough seats, just having that seat reserved will give you that little extra peace of mind.

I hope you find this useful,
Daniel
