May 4 - 22

Hello there,

The 7 day JR Pass would be worth it if you make at least the return Tokyo - Kyoto with it. Right now May 6 - May 14th is 8 days. You could consider returning in the evening on the 13th to get the best out of the JR Pass, otherwise the best option would simply be to purchase normal tickets as you travel.

It is certainly possible to reserve tickets once you arrive at Narita Airport.

As for Osaka, you could simply make a list of 3-4 places you wish to see the most and make a day trip from Kyoto. Osaka is only 30 minutes away by train.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Hi Daniel-san

Do you mean I should return on the 12th instead?

I didn't know Osaka was so close to Kyoto :)

Thanks

Hi there,

Yes, you are right! Sorry, should have been the 12th. Looking at it now, it would mean 2 days less in Kyoto. Which in a way would be a shame.

Still hope you found the post useful,
Daniel
