Back to Using the Japan Rail Pass

Osaka-Naoshima-Tokyo and day trips

Hello,

I would need some advice about my upcoming itinerary in Japan. I'm travelling with 2 kids (under 11) and two elderly (68 and 70).

We land in Osaka in the late morning, to travel straight to Naoshima where I booked for 2 nights. From Naoshima we will then go to Kyoto, where I booked for 5 nights. From here, we plan short day trips by train to Takayama and/or Hiroshima. Having an early flight to travel back home, we booked the last night in Osaka, near the Kansai airport.

How do you suggest we travel from Osaka to Naoshima, from Naoshima to Kyoto, from Kyoto to Takayama and Hiroshima, from Kyoto to Osaka? Is it worth to get a pass? And if so, which one?

Thank you for your advice,
all the best
Valentina

Hi Valentina,

That's a really nice itinerary. Reading your plans I think a great match would be to use a 7 day Sanyo Sanin area pass. This is valid for travel around Kansai and going west to Hiroshima and a bit further. The price is really good when it comes to value for money. However, it would not include travel to Takayama. If you wish to visit both Takayama and Hiroshima, then I'd advice a 7 day JR Pass.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
