Hello,

I would be extremely grateful if you could give me an advice.
We are going to Japan in April.
The itinerary is:
5-7 April - Tokyo
7-8 April - Nagano- Yamanouchi
8-10 April - Fukui
10-13 April - Kyoto
13-16 April - Tokyo

We are going to stay in these places for a couple of days and do local trips.
We are considering buying JRPass for this "loop trip" from Tokyo, coming back to Tokyo in a week.
So the questions are:

  1. Would JRPass cover all bullet trains on the way Tokyo-Nagano-Fukui-Kyoto-Tokyo or is it not worth it, as I've read that some Shinkansen trains are not covered by JRPass?

  2. If we buy a 7 days Pass and activate it on 7th of April, will it still be valid to use on 13th of April?

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

1.) Yes, the JR Pass covers the Shinkansen on this route and will give you good savings compared to buying normal rail tickets.

2.) Yes :)

Hope this helps,
Daniel
