Hi

we travel to Tokyo (Haneda) 17th Jan 2023 and travel Tokyo and that date

Then to use the central line around Tokyo and visit a Sumo day Kokugikan - for the next five days.

Then to Travel to Kyoto 22nd Jan and stay for 3 days

Finally to travel back to Haneda Airport. 25th

I am advised that a JR 7 day pass from 19th Jan will be cost effective .

Questions

  1. For travel on 17/18th - is a Sudika card best
  2. I want to try the green car experience. Tokyo to Kyoto -- and -- Kyoto to Haneda --
    id the Green card JR card cost effect - or should I get the standard and upgrade on the day)
  3. Booking seats - can I do this on line before we travel, or does the station at Tokyo have Enlish speaking staff.

This is a second visit to Tokyo - in 2014 we stay just in Tokyo - so this is branching out.

Any advice would be good. and I thank you in advance.

Hi there,

1.) Yes, or you could buy a day ticket for the local JR lines or Tokyo Metro (depending on your other travel).

2.) The Green Car is definitely more relaxing to travel in, it is not a huge step-up for normal class, but certainly noticeable. There is no upgrade path if you have a normal JR Pass, so I suggest getting a Green Class pass from the start.

3.) You can do this at any station, for details see: https://www.jrpass.com/blog/reserving-seats-boarding-the-bullet-train

Kind regards,
Daniel
