Whether should buy JR Pass or not

Hello there,

I would certainly recommend using a 7 day JR Pass here. The cost of a 7 day JR Pass is almost the same as a normal return Tokyo - Kyoto/Osaka using the Shinkansen. Any additional travel is what you save, for instance towards Shirakawa-go.

About Shirakawa-go, the JR Pass can be used to travel to either Kanazawa or Takayama, from where you can use the bus to Shirakawa-go. The bus is not included but the train travel costs the far by most.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Dear Daniel,

Thank you very much for your prompt reply
JR Pass can be used for JR East, west and narita express (basicly all JR ), right ?

If so, I would like to purchase 2 JR Pass
How much is it?
I am in Indonesia by the way

Thank you very much

Erica
