Question about what type of Rail Pass to buy

Hello Kristen,

What about after Kyoto? Will you be returning to Tokyo? or traveling on perhaps to Hiroshima? Depending on that a 7 day JR Pass could be a really good option.

Let me know and I can give you a better suggestion.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for your reply! We will be traveling back to Tokyo to fly out of Narita to return home after Kyoto. So, basically, train to Kyoto on April 15, then back to Tokyo on April 18. I see that a round trip ticket is almost the cost of the JR Pass.... so thinking it makes sense to get one.

Really appreciate your time and thoughts!

Best,
Kristen

Hi Kristen,

Yes, a 7 day JR Pass will be a good option if you can cover a return to Kyoto. Any additional travel, such as to Narita Airport, is was you would save :)

Hope this helps!
Daniel
