Dear Daniel San,

I am Calvin and planning to Japan on 09Nov 17, we plan arrival at Narita airport , and my planning as below;
Day 1 -Arrival Narita Airport- Shinjuku-Tokyo
Day 2- Tokyo
Day 3- Tokyo
Day 4- Shinjuku to Hakone stay at Hakone
Day 5- Hakone to Kyoto
Day 6 to 9 -Kyoto/Nara and Osaka
Day 10 Osaka to Narita Airport.
My question is
1) 7day JP pass ( Ordinary pass) is suitable for my trip?
2) Use the JR pass on day 4 - can use it from Shinjuku to Hakone(Odawara)? need to make seat reservation/need to top up money?
3) can I take shinkansen from Odawara to Kyoto ? need to make seat reservation/need to top up money?
4) Day 6 to 9 in Kyoto/nara/Osaka we can use the JR pass to take the transport like bus/train or MRT?
5) from Kyoto to Nara or Osaka can use the JR pass and need make seat reservation ( online or at the train statation?)
6) In day 10 we take 6.55pm flight at Narita back to Singapore, so can I take the Shinkansen from Osaka to Narita?How long the journey? must make seat reservation?

Thank you.

Hi there,

1.) Yes, I would recommend using a 7 day Japan Rail Pass for your trip! You can make good savings on the route and the Japan Rail Pass will be your single ticket to all these places.

2.) You can use the Shinkansen and local JR lines to Odawara for free using the Japan Rail Pass. A seat reservation for the Shinkansen is recommended and can be made up to 10 minutes before departure.

3.) You can just hop on the train and take a non-reserved seat. However I would recommend making a seat reservation where possible.

4.)You can use local JR lines within these cities, as well as travel to all these cities using the Japan Rail Pass. Other transport like the metro is not included.

5.) There are only local trains to Nara, these don't have reserved seats.

6.) You can use the Shinkansent to Tokyo station and from there the Narita Express to Narita Airport.

Kind regards,
Daniel
