Can someone please help. We are travelling from Ireland to Japan 7th July 26 until 24th July 26.
Our rough itinerary is something like this:
Tokyo to Hiroshima (2days)
Hiroshima to MIYAJIMA
MIYAJIMA to Osaka (2days)
Osaka to Nara(1day)
Osaka to Kyoto (4 days)
Kyoto to kanazawa (1day)
Kanazawa to Hakone (1day)
Hakone to Tokyo (1 day)
Tokyo (3 days)
I’m not sure if the JR pass is worth it or how many days we should get our pass for. Any help with this or itinerary greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hi there,
Thank you for your question!
I'd say you're pretty close to a 14-day JR Pass, but as it stands would have to add a little but of travel. Maybe a day trip or two would be enough. I'd also consider it for the convenience, as it covers travel between all the cities you plan to visit.
Note that within Hakone, you may still need additional transport.
Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi again,
I have reviewed your trip (again) and added up all the fares for your trip.
While the difference is fairly small, it would cost less to buy normal tickets here - rather than getting a 14 day Japan Rail Pass. You could still consider it for convenience, as it saves you from having to buy tickets all the time but if it's real budget that's the concern, then I'd stick with normal tickets.
Kind regards,
Daniel
