Tokyo to Osaka travel help

Hi Aneta,

I checked your itinerary for the best option(s) and think it would to best to buy normal tickets here. As they will cost less than a 7 day JR Pass. A JR Pass would be good if used for a return Tokyo - Kyoto.

It is true that the JR Pass only covers part of the way to Kawaguchiko, for details see:

Hope this helps,

Many thanks Daniel, that’s super helpful.
Is there a website or an app where I can check the train timetable and fares for my itinerary? I’m not sure if I’d need to buy tickets online ahead of time or on the day of travel at the rail station so any pointers here would be greatly appreciated. Also, does my itinerary mean I’d be travelling on slow trains or are these also the fast bullet trains?

Thank you in advance
Aneta

For travel times, I recommend learning to plan with Hyperdia this way you can find any route/timetable and more. It's a great tool for planning with the JR Pass. We also have a useful interactive map with all JR lines included. They have an App too.

You can use the bullet train between Nagoya and Kyoto.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
