Hi,
We are a couple that are visiting Japan next march. We´ll be staying from the 4th till the 18th and are not sure if it´s better using a 7 or the 14 day pass. This is our approx itinerary:
4th.Arrive Tokyo.
5th - 10th.Tokyo.Visiting Nikko, Kamakura and Yokohama.
11th.Osaka.Himaji.
12th.Osaka.Visiting Nara and Fushimi Inari.
13th - 15th.Kyoto.Different excursions.
16th.Hiroshima and Miyajima.
17th.Tokyo.
18th.Flying back.
It will be very helpful if someone could advise us on our itinerary.
Many Thanks.Luis..

Hi Luis!
Lets take a look at your costs assuming you land in Narita:
- Tokyo > Nikko: ¥5,230 (121mins, 150km)
- Nikko > Tokyo: ¥5,230 (121mins, 150km)
- Tokyo > Kamakura: ¥1,700 (48mins, 51km)
- Kamakura > Tokyo: ¥1,700 (48mins, 51km)
- Tokyo > Yokohama: ¥1,460 (23mins, 28km)
- Yokohama > Tokyo: ¥1,460 (23mins, 28km)
- Tokyo > Osaka: ¥13,550 (194mins, 556km)
- Osaka > Himeji: ¥3,640 (47mins, 95km)
- Himeji > Osaka: ¥3,640 (47mins, 95km)
- Osaka > Nara: ¥780 (51mins, 48km)
- Nara > Inari: ¥650 (71mins, 39km)
- Inari > Kyoto: ¥140 (6mins, 2km)
- Kyoto > Hiroshima: ¥10,590 (112mins, 380km)
- Hiroshima > Miyajimaguchi: ¥400 (26mins, 21km)
- Miyajimaguchi > Tokyo: ¥18,050 (331mins, 916km)
- Tokyo > Narita airport terminal 1: ¥3,140 (58mins, 79km)
JR ticket cost: ¥71,360 for 16 legs
- 14 day Japan Rail Pass (¥45,100) saving: ¥26,260
As you can see you'll make great savings with the 14 day JR Pass during your trip. Note that the 14 day pass will not give you 100% coverage as you are in Japan for 15 days. I recommend activating your JR Pass on day 2, and purchasing a [Narita Express + SUICA card bundle] on arrival into Narita. This will get you into Tokyo and includes ¥1500 of free metro travel on a prepaid card.
Hope this helps!
