Worth my while to get the JR Pass?

Hello KP,

This would really depend on, whether you make the visit to Hiroshima or not. Making a return from Osaka - Hiroshima is over ¥ 20,460yen which pays for the better part of the 7 day JR Pass (¥ 29,110). This way you would get great value out of the JR Pass.

I would suggest buying normal ticket if you don't visit Hiroshima as the JR Pass would not be put to good use if you only travel from Kyoto - Tokyo.

The JR Pass covers local travel between KIX - Osaka - Kyoto as well as the local JR Network in Osaka, Kyoto in Tokyo. In Osaka and Tokyo this is generally enough to get around the city. The metro is not included.

Hope this helps!
