I will be traveling from Tokyo to Hiroshima and visiting Miyajima. Then I will go to Kyoto and visit Osaka and Nara on different days. After that, I plan to go to Nagano for two days and return to Tokyo. This itinerary will take 8 days. Is it worth buying the 7-day JR Pass?

Hi there,
Yes, the 7-day JR Pass is both cost-effective and the most convenient option for your travel plans. Since your trip is 8 days, please note that one day will not be covered, and you will need to purchase individual tickets for any travel on that specific day.
Kind Regards,
Mariko
