Tokyo - Hakone - Takayama - Kyoto - Osaka

Hi Ccy,

Hard to say about a tour, but I can certainly help with checking if the rail pass is worth it or not!

For this 1 week trip, you have the following legs (incl. the legs from Narita Airport and To Kansai International):

Narita > Tokyo (¥2,740)
Tokyo > Odawara (¥3,130)
Odawara > Takayama (¥12,110)
Takayama > Kyoto (¥ 9,380)
Kyoto -> Osaka (¥1000)
Osaka > Kansai International Airport (¥2,200)

Total: ¥30,560

Recommendation: Buy 1 x 7 day JR Pass

Using a 7 day rail pass will give you a small saving of around ¥2,000. In addition you'll have more flexibility to change your plans should you need.

Hope this helps!
