Hi
I will be travelling in Japan from the 30th March to the 20th April. My itinerary is Tokyo 4 days, walk from Yokokawa to Magome over 5 days getting small trains at times, Kyoto 3 days, Osaka (nara) 4 days, Kumaro hike 2 days, Hiroshima, Mirajama, Hiroshima flight to Hong Kong.

I was thinking of getting a 2 week pass or should I just pay as I go?

Thank you for your help :)

Hi Esther and Ed,

Pay as you go would be cheaper in this case. You do cover a good amount of foot and only travel one way Tokyo - Hiroshima. A JR Pass would have given you excellent value though had you made a return Tokyo - Hiroshima.

Kind regards,
Daniel
