Hi there,
I'm planning to visit in late Jan.

Can you let me know what is the optimal JR pass for this sort of trip?
Haneda - Tokyo
Tokyo - Kyoto
Kyoto - Nozawa Onsen
Nozawa Onsen to Tokyo
Tokyo to Haneda.

Is a JR Regional Pass better?

Many thanks,
Milou

Thank you Daniel, that is very helpful! We are staying 3 days
In Tokyo, 4 in Kyoto and then 5 in Nozawa before heading back
to Tokyo.

Your advice is very much appreciated! Thank you!

Hi again!

In this case, you are right between the 7 day JR Pass and 14 day JR Pass. As in, the 7-day JR Pass would be great if you did this trip within 7 days, and the 14 day JR Pass needs a bit more travel to help you make savings.

Tokyo - Kyoto - Iiyama comes down to around 26.000yen, if you can do this with a 7-day JR Pass and any additional travel (such as a day trip, airport transfer etc,) then it may be worth it.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
