Hi there,

This JR Pass will be an interesting option to consider for sure. The cost of a 7 day JR Pass is just below the cost of a normal return ticket Tokyo - Kyoto using the Shinkansen trains. Add in a one way Tokyo - Narita Airport and you are already making savings.

The JR Pass is also valid on the local JR Network in Tokyo and is also a great excuse to add a 2nd day trip, like Kamakura or Nikko.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
