Hi
I leave Canada on 16nov. ....my itinerary on train would be
1) Tokyo- Ito direct with LTD EXP Odoriko or, via Atami with Shink. Kodama & JR Ito Line Hyperdia quotes 2310Yen no seat reservation
2) Ito-Kyoto via Atami witd LTD EXP. Odoriko & Shink. Kodama or via Atami & Mishima with JR Ito LIne plus the 2 already mentionned.......quoted 7180 Yen ,no seat reserved
3)Kyoto- Narita airport...with Shink. Nozom (not JR pass) or Shink. Hikari via Tokyo. both are quite similar price +- 10,000Y no seat reserved
Am I right thinking that if I don't reserve a seat(any obligation ? ) the JR pass at 29,100Yen is not a deal or should I not take the risk of being left on the pier ??
Is it too late to buy the pass as I leave in 16 days and live in Canada ?
I will be waiting for your advice

Hi there,
I think you are interpreting the numbers wrong in Hyperdia, you should always look at the total (not fare or Seat Fee). It's a long explanation but basically you are always required to pay both of these when travelling on a ltd. express train or Shinkansen. As such Tokyo - Ito would be ¥ 4,590 and Kyoto - Narita is more in the range of ¥ 16.500. With your itinerary in mind, a 7-day JR Pass is cost efficient.
We only need 1-2 business days to deliver to Canada, so there's plenty of time to order. For delivery details see: www.jrpass.com/delivery
Kind regards,
Daniel
