Hello,
The last two weeks of april we are traveling in Japan from Tokyo (5 night) Hakone (2 nights) Kyoto ( 3 nights) and Osaka ( 3 nights). We will fligh to Tokyo and fligh back home from Osaka.
I would like to know if it is a good idea to get a JR pass or is It cheaper to get just tickets?
And is It a goog idea to make reservations for the trains and where can we make the reservations?
Hello there,
I think it will be better to buy normal rail tickets for this trip. A JR Pass would be useful if you make a return Osaka - Tokyo.
You can use the JR Pass Fare Calculator to find an approximate ticket cost of a single route or even your full itinerary.

Kind regards,
Daniel
