Jrpass or not?

Hi there,

A 7 day JR Pass could be a very interesting option for this itinerary. The pass itself is almost the same price as a normal return ticket Tokyo - Kyoto with the Bullet train. You can start making savings with the JR Pass if you cover any other travel in addition the return Tokyo - Kyoto. For instance to Narita Express to the airport, local travel in Tokyo on the JR or perhaps even a day trip from Tokyo or Kyoto.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
