Is it worth getting the JR Pass with this itinerary?

Hi there,

I checked the price of tickets for this route and compared it against the cost of a JR Pass and it will depend a bit on what trains you will take and what day trips you will do (e.g. Matsumoto). I think you'll be a bit of above the break-even point. Keep in mind that the JR Pass does allow you to make any day trip without having to think about the costs, just hop and the train and that's that, no matter if the fare is 100yen or 10.000yen.

You can use the JR Pass Fare Calculator to find an approximate ticket cost of a single route or even your full itinerary.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Thank you for your help Daniel-san, I'll look thru n compare again.

Considering shorter area pass too if it'll be more economical. If it's not much of a diff, we may do without a JR Pass, and just flow where the wind leads :P

Thanks again!
