Osaka Kansai-Kyoto-Hakone-Tokyo-Osaka Kansai 7 days

Hi,

My wife and I are coming to Japan for our honeymoon at the start of April.

We fly into Osaka Kansai, from which we want to go straight to Kyoto for 3 nights, then on to Hakone for one night then on to Tokyo, then home via Osaka Kansai.

We're interested in getting the rail pass, but would this be cost effective, and can you advise on timetables? As you can see we are very short on time to get so much in so we need to be on top of the timetables.

We arrive at 1705 on Saturday April 1, from which we want to get to Kyoto as quickly as possible.

We are doing 3 nights in Kyoto ((1,2,3 April)and then (probably) on to Hakone to stay in a luxury Ryokan for just one night (4 April)- as you know this will not be cheap and so we're keen to make the most of it by getting there as early as possible (within reason).

From there we will head to Tokyo for at least two nights (5, 6 April) and then we need to be back to Kansai for an 0930 flight (8 April) - so at the airport for 0730, on Saturday morning. We need to figure out where to stay on the 7th. Is this reachable from Tokyo by train t that time of the morning? I assume not, if not, is it reachable from Kyoto at that time in the morning, or do I need to be in Osaka / at the airport over night?

If I can confirm that this trip makes sense, and is doable all on the railcard then we will certainly want to purchase one each.

Thanks

Pete

Hi there,

I do think it would make sense to use a 7 day JR Pass for your trip. The cost of a 7 day JR Pass is about the same as a normal return ticket Tokyo - Osaka using the Shinkansen, now you get 7 days of unlimited travel for the same price and can make savings with any additional travel you cover.

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. This way you can plan your trip at any time and be ready to make changes on the go.

Regarding your return to Kansai Airport, there are early Haruka Express train services you can take as early as 5:45 from Kyoto station. See here for examples and [here for the full time table]. You can use this train to arrive in time from Kyoto. It is about 5 hours travel from Tokyo station to Kansai Airport and it would not be possible on the day of travel to make this trip and be on time at the airport. I generally travel to Kansai Airport the day before departure and book a hotel near Rinku Town. This is an area, just one stop away from Kansai Airport. Rinku town is a discounted outlet area, great for last minute shopping too.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
