Hi

We are visiting Japan in July for 15 days and travelling with our 5 year old child.

Would appreciate if you can provide some advise on our below itinerary. Please recommend which JR pass will suit us.

Sat - Arrive Haneda Airport 10am
Day 1 - 4: Osaka (4N stay)
Day 5 - 8: Kyoto (4N stay)
Day 9 : Hakone (1N stay)
Day 10 -11: Tokyo Disney (2 N stay in Disney partner hotel)
Day 12 - 14: Explore Tokyo, 3N stay in Shinjuku area
Day 15: flight out from Narita airport 6pm

We intend to do a day trip to Nara from Kyoto. Should we include day trip to Kobe or Nagoya (for Legoland :-) ) while in Osaka?

Thanks for your help.

Cheers
Kristin

Hi Kristin,

A 7 day JR Pass would be good if you made the return Tokyo - Kyoto/Osaka - Tokyo in 7 days but you will take a bit longer. At the same time, you don't travel enough for a 14 day JR Pass to help you make savings. It is right in between, with your current plan. I would buy normal tickets as you travel but add a side trip, say to Hiroshima and then a 14 day JR Pass would be worth it.

Nagoya is a stop on the route Tokyo - Osaka and Kyoto - Hakone, I would make a stop here on route to save travel time.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
