Hi,

I'm planning to visit Japan for 16 nights in November and I am wondering when it would be best to activate my JR 14 days Pass for my trip.

I will be arriving in Tokyo on Friday November 3rd in the morning. Is it better to activate my pass as soon as I arrive? Or wait a few days before I do because it's more useful at the end of my trip? Maybe activate it on the 6th instead?

My itinerary is as follows

Friday 3/11 Arrive in Tokyo, Explore Tokyo Station area and Shibuya
Saturday 4/11 Ueno Park, Ameyayokocho street, Senso-ji Temple, Akihabara
Sunday 5/11 Tokyo Metropolitan Building, Meiji Shrine, Shinjuku, Happy Pancakes
Monday 6/11 Imperial Palace and East Gardens, Shopping, Ninja Restaurant, Mario Go-Kart
Tuesday 7/11 Leave Tokyo - Go to Hakone

Hi there,

You will get the best value out of the pass when used for longer trips, think of travel to Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima. With that in mind, I do think it makes sense to wait with activation until you depart from Tokyo.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Thanks Daniel. With that being said, I would need to buy a separate ticket for Narita Airport to Tokyo when I arrive. Will I still need a JR Pass to cover the first 4 days tickets? Or will individual tickets be sufficient?
