Hi,

i am going to Japan for 2 weeks in October. I would like to know if it is better the JRPass or other for the following itinerary:

  • Osaka airport to Namba (Express Kansai train- is it included in JRPass?)
  • Using underground in Osaka to Expo (is it included in the JRpass?)
  • Osaka - Kyoto / Kyoto - Osaka
  • Hop on hop off Osaka and Tokyo (included?)
  • Osaka - Naoshima / Naoshima - Osaka
  • Osaka- Hiroshima
  • Hiroshima - Tokyo
  • Tokyo underground
  • Airport express to tokyo airport

Thank you.

Hi Barbara,

A JR Pass would not be the best option here, instead I suggest looking at using a Kansai Hiroshima Area Pass. This pass includes travel between Osaka, Hiroshima, and the train part to Naoshima (but not the ferry). Together this should help you make very good savings!

Do note, that you'd still need to buy a ticket between Osaka and Tokyo.

Kind regards,
Daniel
