Can you help me make the right choice?

Hi there,

The JR Pass covers indeed all the local JR lines around Tokyo, where this is enough depends on where you want to go within the city. Same goes for a subway ticket.

That said, a 7-day JR Pass will help you make savings going to Osaka/Kyoto and back to Tokyo.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Thanks for your reply!

So Japan Rail Pass and the JR lines is sufficient enought in the cities of Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto?

Would it be more convenient to first buy a 3-day subway card to go to Tokyo from Narita and the next two days in Tokyo and then activate the Japan Rail Pass to travel to Osaka and Kyoto? Can I go from Narita to Tokyo with a subway card?

Hi,

Think of it this way, the JR Pass will certainly help you make savings on this trip. Yet you still may need local transport within cities, this entirely depends on where you want to go, so I can't say for sure without knowing your full plan.

The Tokyo subway does not go to Narita Airport.

Kind regards,
Daniel
