Hello!
We are 3 friends and we will be travelling to Japan (Tokyo, Fuji, Kyoto & Osaka) in September for 10 days. I wonder which JR pass we should use for the whole travel. Itinerary is fixed.
Day 1 (Fri) - Reach NRT at 6pm / Airport to Shinjuku
Day 2 (Sat) – Shinjuku to Fuji 5th Station Yoshida Trail / Climb Mount Fuji
Day 3 (Sun) - Fuji back to Tokyo / sightseeing in Tokyo
Day 4 (Mon) - Tokyo (sightseeing)
Day 5 (Tue) – Tokyo (sightseeing)
Day 6 (Wed) – Early morning shinkansen Tokyo to Kyoto / sightseeing in Kyoto
Day 7 (Thu) – Kyoto (sightseeing)
Day 8 (Fri) – Kyoto (sightseeing)
Day 9 (Sat) - Kyoto (sightseeing)
Day 10 (Sun) – Kyoto to Osaka / sightseeing in Osaka
Day 11 (Mon) – Early morning flight from Osaka to Korea
My research shows that the cheapest way would be to use the 7-day JR Pass (Day 1-7) and then 3-day JR Kansai Thru Pass (Day 8-10). Is there a cheaper way to commute for our itinerary?
Thank you in advance!
