Should we get a 14 day JR Pass

Hi Bev,

First, congratulations on your (upcoming) wedding!
I made an inventory of normal ticket prices so see if it would be useful for you,

Tokyo --> Nagano ¥ 7,970
Shibu Onsen, no trains all the way there but there are various other ways to access it.
Nagano --> Matsumoto ¥ 2,770
Kisa Vally (Narai station) --> Kyoto ¥ 9,310
Kyoto --> Osaka 540
Kyoto Nara (return) 1,380
Kyoto --> Tokyo ¥ 13,220

This adds up to ¥ 35,190 this leaves you ¥ 9,910 short of the 14 day JR Pass which is ¥ 45,100.
Still it may even out quickly, for instance you could use it for a one way journey to the Airport or for an other day trip, most people just stay one night at Koya-san and there could be a nice possibility for a day trip.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Thanks for your speedy reply Daniel.

That's what I thought so it's good to have it confirmed. We may still decide to get the pass.

Many thanks
Bev
