Hello there,

A JR Pass may or may not be beneficial, depending on what airport you fly from. Could you tell me where you will be departing from on the 26th? This would help me answer your question.

Hi again!

In that case it would be more economic to buy normal rail tickets. A JR Pass would start paying off if you returned to Tokyo/Narita.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi! Thanks for your revert.

Another 2 quick questions please -

  1. Can we purchase online ticket for Shinkansen Nozomi from Tokyo to reach Osaka (date of travel - 22nd Nov 2016)

2.We would be purchasing the Shinkansen Nozomi from Tokyon station to reach Shin Osaka station however do we need to buy another ticket to reach Nippombashi station or we can use the same Shinkansen Nozomi ticket to reach Nippombashi station.

Thanks!!
