10 days - alternatives

Hi there,

The 7 day JR Pass can be a very good option if you use it to travel to Kyoto. The pass itself is almost the same price as a normal return ticket Tokyo - Kyoto, so any other travel covered with it is where you can make savings.

I would recommend using it for the first 7 days, this way you can make the best possible savings. I would also recommend making a day trip or two with the JR Pass. This way you both make the best of your pass and trip to Japan. For instance it is easy to visit Nikko or Kamakura from Tokyo. Or Osaka and Nara from Kyoto.

The pass is valid for 7 days in a row (consecutive usage).
