7 days JR pass needed with tokyo-osaka itinerary

Hi there!

Looks like a good plan! I would advise buying normal tickets as you'd not make savings with a one way trip Tokyo -Osaka.

Kyoto is easy to reach from Osaka station, as it is only a 29min train ride away. So a day trip there certainly is a possibility. Nara is also within 1H travel from Osaka, so some there.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Thanks Daniel!

So you recommend that I just buy at the ticket counter machine for the train rides & also the bullet train to osaka from tokyo?

Is it easier that we go to Kyoto from Osaka instead of from Tokyo to Kyoto?

Hi Again!

Yes either buy your Shinkansen tickets at a manned counter or just a ticket machine :)

Tokyo - Kyoto - Osaka are all lined up in one line and it does not really matter in which order you visit them.

Hope this helps too,
Daniel

Arigato! ;-)
