JR Pass or Regional Pass

Hi there,

Based on your itinerary, a 14-day Nationwide JR Pass would be your best option. To maximise its value, I would suggest activating the pass on Day 2, when you depart Tokyo for Fukushima.

This ensures that all your major long-distance legs including the return from Fukushima, your trip to Kyoto and Osaka, and the journey back up to Ueno are fully covered. For your first day, you can simply purchase an individual ticket for the journey from Narita Airport to Tokyo.

You can activate your JR Pass and set your start date immediately upon arrival at the airport, or alternatively, at any major JR station in Tokyo before you depart for Fukushima.

I hope this helps!

Kind Regards,

Mariko
