I am planning the following itinerary:
Tokyo- Hiroshima
Hiroshima- Himeji
Himeji- Kyoto
Kyoto- Kanazawa
Up to here the trips extend during 7 days and then on the
8th Day Kanazawa- Tokyo to complete the round trip.
Should I buy a 7-day JR pass and buy an extra ticket for the 8th Day from Kanazawa to Tokyo or is this last leg possible with the round trip pass? Thank you in advance for your help!
Hi there,
The 7-day Nationwide JR Pass is valid for 7 consecutive calendar days, so your travel on the 8th day will not be covered.
You will need to buy an individual Shinkansen ticket for the Kanazawa to Tokyo leg on Day 8. Combining the 7-day pass with a single ticket for that last journey is the right approach here.
Hope this helps, and have a wonderful trip!
Kind Regards,
Mariko
