19.05 - HND
20.05 -Tokyo
21.05 Tokyo Kamakura day trip
22.05 Tokyo - Hakone (Odawara)/ Hakone Loop
23.05 Hakone - Kyoto
24.05 Kyoto
25.05 Kyoto - Nara/Ugi day trip
26.05 Kyoto - Hiroshima - Miyajima day trip

29.05 Kyoto
30.05 Kyoto - Kanazawa - Tokyo
31.05 Tokyo - Nikko day trip

Kindly advise whether it is better to buy Nationwide JR pass for a part of travel and local area passes for some part of the travel.
Thanks in advance

Hi Galina,

I'm happy to help! Given your 15-day itinerary, I would recommend a 7-day Nationwide JR Pass activated on 26 May to cover your long-distance trips.

For the first and last portion of your trip, purchasing individual tickets and a Hakone Free Pass will be significantly more affordable.

I hope this helps plan your trip!

Kind Regards,

Mariko
