Hi

Need expert advice on my sector if i can save on train cost :

6th Dec - HND - Highland report (Fuji-Q) by bus
9th Dec - Highland resort to Shinjuku terminal (most probably will book bus as well)
11th Dec - Shinjuku to Iiyama station then to Nozawa Grand hotel
from Hyperdia, i will either take 0826 to Omiya then to Iiyama. If i miss this train, i will take 1013 (same route) I am also considering if i should go Nagano instead of IIyama as we actually plan to go snow monkey on same day.
13th Dec - Iiyama to Osaka (shinsaibaishi area)
* Will it be cheaper if i buy separately?

Many thanks in advance

Hi there,

You can use the JR Pass Fare Calculator to find an approximate ticket cost of a single route or even your full itinerary.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Thank you for directing me to the JR pass fare calculator. Unless i did wrongly, but it seems its better to buy it separately if i go by the route i mentioned? I also checked with a local contact and they said i should buy the JR pass?

Also can i use the same pass if i travel internally in Osaka or Tokyo or from IIyama to Nagano etc?

thanks alot

Hi again,

Yes, from a quick check I agree on the ticket prices.

You can use the JR Pass on local JR lines where available, other transport like the metro is not covered.

Kind regards,
Daniel
