Nagano-Tokyo-Disney

Hello there,

Traveling from Tokyo - Nagano - Tokyo alone would not add up enough in travel costs for you to make savings with a JR Pass. The price for a one way ticket is about 8,000yen, then add the Narita Express which is 3,000 and an other 8,000for the return to Tokyo. The 7 day JR Pass is 29,1000. So I think you''ll be best of just purchasing normal tickets.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Daniel-San,

Thank you for the information. Do you have any good suggestions for sights or day trips in and around Nagano that my husband and daughter could enjoy while I am working. They have expressed interest in: Matsumoto Castle, Olympic village area, Zenkoji temple, Togakure Ninja School, Karuizawa, and Jigokudani Wild Monkey Park. But are open to suggestions and recommendations from an expert.

What about tours in an around Tokyo, we have most of Friday and all day Saturday and want to maximize our experience in the region before moving to the Disney side on Sunday.

If they utilize any of your tour tips, would the JR pass then be beneficial to them?

Hi again!

Well a JR Pass certainly looks like a much better buy if you where to include day trips to Matsumoto, Karuizawa and other places reached by JR. You can also take the train at any time, so making a day trip to Tokyo or somewhere else is really easy.
