We are planning a trip from Nov 8-23 with the itinerary is follows:
November 8: Depart from Calgary
November 9-11: Tokyo
November 12: Kamakura, back to Tokyo for the night
November 13: Nikko, back to Tokyo for the night
November 14-16: Kyoto
November 17-19: Osaka
November 20-23: Tokyo
I'm wondering if its more cost-efficient to buy the 14-day JR Rail pass or use the 7-day pass for Kyoto/Osaka and use regular tickets for the rest?
Hi there!
Given your current itinerary lets have a look at your total ticket cost:
JR ticket cost: ¥48,440 for 9 legs
As you can see you'll make great savings with the 14 day option. As the difference between a 7 and 14 day pass is ¥16,800, you'll need to spend at least this in addition to the 7 day pass in order to make a 14 day pass worthwhile.
Looking at the costs, if you could move the trip to Nikko to the 14th, or return to Tokyo a day earlier and start your JR Pass on the 13th, your non-JR Pass costs will be ¥9270 and so it will be worthwhile. If you cannot change these dates of travel, you'll also need to pay for the Nikko return, which will push up your non-JR Pass costs to the level that a 14 day pass is worthwhile.
Hope this helps!
