Hi Team,

I am visiting Japan in Dec from 16th onwards. After research I've decided on going ahead with this list of places in this order and wanted to check the following...

  1. Will the 14 day JR Pass be more economical?
  2. What are the routes that the JR Pass doesn't cover and I will need to be spending extra?
  3. What are the other JR passes that I would need to buy if required?

Land on 16th from Narita

16-19th Dec > Tokyo
19-- 21st Dec > Hakone
21-24th Dec > Kyoto
24-26th Dec > Osaka
26-27th Dec > Koyasan
27-29th Dec > Hiroshima
29-31st Dec > Takayama
31 Dec-1st Jan > Tokyo

and fly back from Narita

Hi there,

  1. Will the 14-day JR Pass be more economical?

It could be more cost-effective to use single train tickets but the 14-day JR Pass will be more convenient for your journey as it is for unlimited travel on most JR lines, including Shinkansen.

  1. What are the routes that the JR Pass doesn't cover and I will need to be spending extra?

The JR Pass covers your itinerary except for the full routes to Hakone and Koyasan.

Hakone:
The JR Pass covers up to Otsuki station. We have a blog post Access to Hakone.

Koyasan
The nearest JR station from Koyasan is Shinimamiya station. From there, you will need to use the non-JR train to get to Koyasan. Please find our blog post Itinerary tip: Mt. Koya.

  1. What are the other JR passes that I would need to buy if required?

I assume the 14-day JR Pass would be the best option for your itinerary. You can see other regional passes here.

I hope this helps!

Kind Regards,

Mariko
