Dear Sir/Madam,

We are planning to go on a 11 Days Japan Trip next month. I had been researching for a few days regarding the Jr Pass. But I was wondering if it is worth it for my trip and I wasn’t sure which line I can use the jr pass. I hope I could get help here by going through my itinerary.

Day 1 (8 March 2018): Arrive At Haneda Airport at 8AM. We will be staying in Ginza area.
Day 2 (9 March 2018): We will go to Lake Kawaguchiko to see the mount fuji. Next we will go to Gotemba premium outlet before returning to the hotel at night. We are planning to take the bus service. Is it covered by the jr pass?
Day 3 (10 March 2018): Kabukicho and Shibuya area
Day 4 (11 March 2018): Akihabara and Odaiba area
Day 5 (12 March 2018): Ginza to Nozawa Onsen
Day 6 (13 March 2018): Nozawa Onsen
Day 7 (14 March 2018): Nozawa Onsen to Kyoto taking the 8:19AM train.
Day 8 (15 March 2018): Walk around Kyoto in the AM and go to Osaka in the PM
Day 9 (16 March 2018): Osaka or Nara
Day 10 (17 March 2018):Osaka
Day 11 (18 March 2018):Flight home at 11PM at KIX Airport.

Should I purchase 7 days whole Japan JRPass and activate it on the 8th of March or 10th of March and purchase the Kansai area JR Pass for 4days or 2days respectively?

Thank you in advance for your kind help.

Hi there,

The bus to Kawaguchiko is not included in the JR Pass but should only cost around 1,400yen /one way.

I checked your itinerary for the best pass to use but had a hard time to find one that would help you make savings. For now I think the best option would be simply to buy rail tickets as you go. A Japan Rail Pass would have been a good option if used for a return to Tokyo after Osaka.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
