Hi Daniel,

I would like to ask if its necessary to using a JR Pass and if it is, which JR should I use? (1)
My itinerary would be :
Day 1 arrive at KIX airport - go to hotel around Namba
Day 2 go around Dotttonbury - Shinsekai
Day 3 USJ
Day 4 Leaving to Kyoto Fushimi Inary Shrine (should I go back to Osaka?, can this be a day trip? Should I stay at Kyoto?) (2)
Day 5 I am planning to go to Kobe and Nara (If I am planning to Kobe, should I stay at Kyoto or Kobe, or Osaka instead?) (3)
Day 6 Leaving to Tokyo - Strolling around Shinjuku
Day 7 Asakusa - Ginza - Akahibara
Day 8 Disneyland
Day 9 I am planning to Skii around Tokyo that JR Pass Cover? (4)
Day 10 Actually if possible is there any way JR Pass to go to Yokohama (for Gundam Factory) (5)
Day 11 Flying back home from Narita

Thank you in advance

Hi there,

The JR Pass is great for intercity travel / between different regions in Japan. Day 1-5 in your itinerary is in the Kansai Area, and the only long distance travel I see is Kyoto - Tokyo.

Now, a JR Pass may still be useful, but it will depend on where you go. For example, if you go to Gala Yuzawa (rt), then a 7-day JR Pass would be a good fit. Alternatively, places like Nozawa or Nagoya can be reached with the JR Pass and enjoy great winter sports.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
