Hello,

I will get to Tokyo Narita together with my husband on the 15th of April, around 19.00, leaving 30th of April in the evening.
Our itinerary is the following, and I would like to know which pass is more suitable for our trip.
We also consider to buy a trip to Hakone and I noticed the train is also included in the price.

We still have some time to change the dates so we can also consider different dates if you have any other suggestions. :)

Tokyo Narita 15.Apr
Tokyo 16 Apr
Tokyo 17 Apr
Tokyo-Hakone 18 Apr
tokyo-Kyoto 19 Apr
Kyoto 20 Apr
Kyoto 21 Apr
Kyoto - Arashiyama Bamboo 22 Apr
Kyoto 23 Apr
Kyoto - Osaka 24 Apr
Osaka-Nara 25 Apr
Osaka - Koyasan 26 Apr
Osaka - Kobe 27 Apr
Osaka - Himeji Castle 28 Apr
Osaka-Tokyo 29 Apr
Tokyo 30 Apr

Thank you so much!

Hi there,

I ran the numbers on your trip and right now you'd not make savings using a 14-day Japan Rail Pass. I also looked at a 7-day JR Pass, but there was not a good set of days to match it too. As such, my advice is to buy tickets as you travel.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Thank you so much for your answer, much appreciated.
Could you please let me know if the tickets need to be purchased in advance or directly from the ticket office in Japan?
As it is my first time in Japan, I don't know if the ticket price is increasing during the time or if it is not changing.
Also, could you please recommend a site if you recommend buying the tickets in advance?
Also if we should buy the tickets directly to the ticket office, do you recommend a specific train line?

Thank you
Florentina
