Hi
What would be the best day to activate our JR passes. Itinerary is:
DATE IN-OUT LOCATION NIGHTS
20 – 25 April Tokyo 5
25-26 April Takayama 1
26-28 April Kanazawa 2
28 – 2 May Kyoto 4
2 -3 May Miyajima 1
3-5 May Osaka 2
5-6 May Tokyo Haneda 1
Does the pass operate from and to midnight on the nominated days?

Hi Blythey,
For your itinerary, I would recommend activating a 7-day Nationwide JR Pass on 30 April. This will cover your entire journey from Kyoto to Hiroshima and Miyajima, and your return leg to Osaka, Tokyo, and finally Haneda Airport.
Alternatively, you could opt for the Kansai-Hiroshima Area Pass (5 days) combined with individual tickets. This pass would cover your travel from Kyoto to Hiroshima, Miyajima, and Osaka.
Please note that these passes are for consecutive days only and remain valid until midnight on the final day.
I hope this helps!
Kind Regards,
Mariko
Thx Mariko
What ticketing/pass would you recommend for our itinerary prior to this, Tokyo - Kyoto via Takayama and Kanazawa?
Thank you
Blythey
