10 Days in Japan

Hi there!

I am interested in purchasing the Regional Tokyo - Osaka pass, but I only see a 7 day option. I will be in Japan for 10 days, and I am trying to figure out the most cost effective option. I don't even know if I will be going to Osaka, but I'd like to have the option well planned out in advance.

What are your recommendations for someone staying longer than the 7 day consecutive option? Is it also a full 24 hours from the first use? I am thinking of buying tickets my first few days and then using the JR pass when I have my bearings. Thoughts and advice are very much appreciated!

Hi there,

A 7 day pass can be a good fit, even though you are in Japan for longer. The best use of the JR Pass is when it is used for longer trips using the Shinkansen. Think of travel between Tokyo and Osaka. If you can make a return within 7 days and just buy normal tickets around Tokyo, then that works out really well. As you say, you can use normal tickets to explore Tokyo at the start of your trip and then use a 7 day pass to follow up later.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
