Hello there. My family and I will be in Japan from May 22 - 31.

I want to know if I need a JR Pass. Below is my proposed itinerary:

May 22 - Arrive in Osaka KIX from Manila at 6:30 pm, rest in Hotel in Osaka
May 23 -Universal Studios Osaka, back to Hotel in Osaka
May 24 - Visit Kyoto, then back to Osaka and rest in Hotel
May 25- morning - check out Osaka Hotel, Train to Nagoya and tour around Nagoya, evening check in at Nagoya Hotel
May 26 - morning, check out Nagoya Hotel, train to Tokyo Narita. then check in at Hotel in Tokyo Narita, walk around
May 27 - Fish market in Tokyo, other sites in Tokyo
May 28- Visit Tokyo Disney Sea
May 29 - Tsukiji Fish Market, etc.
May 30 - 9:30 am flight Tokyo Narita back to Manila

So do I need to get a 7 days JR Pass? Also, what other train passes should I Buy?

Please advise. Thanks!

Hi there,

I would recommend buying normal rail tickets for your trip. As the cost of tickets will be below the cost of a 7 day JR Pass.

You can use the JR Pass Fare Calculator to find an approximate ticket cost of a single route or even your full itinerary.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
