Hello!
Thank god for this page as I am having trouble deciding if I should get a JR Pass.
I will be travelling to Hokkaido for 5 days before flying to Tokyo. From Tokyo, I will be taking the Shinkansen to Kyoto for 3 days where I will also do a one day trip to Osaka. I will be back to Tokyo for another 5 days, also via the Shinkansen.
In short, this is my itinerary: Hokkaido - fly to Tokyo - Kyoto - Osaka - Kyoto - Tokyo
I hope to travel via the Green Cars for my Tokyo-Kyoto and Kyoto-Tokyo journeys.
- Is it worthwhile for me to get a Green Pass?
- Should I get an Ordinary Pass and upgrade to the Green Cars for my journey from Tokyo to Kyoto and Kyoto to Tokyo?
- Should i skip the JR Pass and just buy the tickets separately?
Many thanks for your help! =)
