Hello,
I will be travelling to Japan for 15 days in May. I will arrive to Tokyo and then I'm going to Kamakura, Hakone, Kyoto, Kanazawa, Shirakawa, Toyama, Nagano and - Tokyo. Is it a good idea to take the JR rail pass? or is It cheaper to get just tickets? And if to take - it will be better 14 days pass?
Lots of thanks,
Marina
Hi Marina,
How many days do you think you'll take for the route travel to Kyoto, Kanazawa, Shirakawa, Toyama, Nagano and - Tokyo? I think a 7 day JR Pass would be the better option if you can do this within 7 days.
Kind regards,
Daniel

Thanks a lot, Daniel!!
But I'm gonna leave Tokyo for Hakone on 11 of May, then my route will go to Kyoto and other cities until May 20 (my trip Nagano-Tokyo - on May 20). A total of 10 days ! May be 14-day pass will be better? And the important question - is JRpass cover the way from Kyoto to Kanazawa? Can I use JRpass for trip from Tokyo to Kamakura?
Hi again,
Then you could look at a 14 day JR Pass instead. Both Kyoto - Kanazawa and Tokyo - Kamakura are covered by the pass. As well as travel to/from the airport.
Kind regards,
Daniel
