Hi trying to work out if JR pass will actually save me money or just buy tickets for each trip, plans are:
Osaka-Hiroshima return
Osaka-Tokyo
Tokyo-Nikko return
Tokyo-Hakone return
Tokyo-Kyoto
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but when I compare prices it looks like I'm better off not getting one. Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
How many days will you be travelling? In general a 7 day JR Pass will help you big time here.
Just a return Osaka - Hiroshima is about 21.000 yen, a one way Osaka - Tokyo around 14.200yen and a return Tokyo - Nikko using the Shinkansen about 10.000yen. While the cost of a 7 day JR Pass is 29.100yen.
A 14 day JR Pass would be a good investment too if you can include the one way Tokyo - Kyoto 13.600.
Can you tell me what numbers you were looking at, this might explain your earlier conclusion.
Kind regards,
Daniel
