Dear sirs,
we (2 persons) intend to travel in Japan from 16th until 29th November. Our stay would be as following :

16th Nov : arrival in Tokyo Haneda
16th until 21st : we'll stay in Tokyo and visit Kamakura 20th) and Mount Minobu
21st Nov : Tokyo to Niigata, ferry to Sado Island
21st until 23rd Nov : stay in Sado Island
23rd : ferry Sado Island to Niigata, Niigata to Kyoto
24th : Kyoto to Osaka
24th until 26th : stay in Osaka, one trip to Nara
26th : Osaka to Tokyo
26th until 29th : stay in Tokyo
29th : departure from Tokyo (NRT)

We would like to know if the JRP, 7 days, would cover all this itineray and which would be the best connections (leaving early in each town for departure)? Could we use the JRP also in Tokyo (if it so, we'll choose JRP, 14 days)?

We are thanking you in advance for your answer.
Best regards
Doris

Hi Doris,

You'll do enough travel to make savings with both a 7 and 14 day JR Pass. That said, a 7 day JR Pass would likely be more cost effective, as you have all your expensive travel planned within one week.

For travel times, I recommend learning to plan with Hyperdia this way you can find any route/timetable and more. It's a great tool for planning with the JR Pass. We also have a useful interactive map with all JR lines included.

The JR Pass is valid on local JR lines in Tokyo but not the Tokyo Metro.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
