Hi there,

To give you the best option, could you let me know what is included in the tour? For instance travel from Tokyo - Kyoto? Kyoto to Osaka or to Hiroshima?

I can find the best option when you let me know!

Sorry - to clarify:

Travel included in the tour covers only 3rd - 9th, so all other travel listed will be independent.

Hi again,

In that case, you'd be looking at:

Tokyo - Kyoto ¥ 13,800
Kyoto - Osaka ¥ 560
Osaka - Hiroshioma ¥ 10,430
Hiroshima - Miyajima (return) ¥ 1,180
Hiroshima - Uno (for ferry to Naoshima) ¥ 6,550
Uno - Tokyo ¥ 17,860

For a total of ¥ 50,380 total or ¥ 36,580 for the last 7 days. A 14 day JR Pass is 46,390 and a 7 day JR Pass is 29,100. Meaning you can make savings with both pases, although using a 7 day JR Pass for the last 7 days will save you slightly more.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
