Days trips from Tokyo

Hello A Lee-Hinton,

Yes that's certainly possible. Travel time to Kyoto is about 160 minutes (2h40min) giving you more than enough time to explore the city and enjoy almost the whole day there. Osaka is only 20-30min away from Kyoto and adding that to your trip would not be hard either.

The 7 day JR Pass is about the same price as a normal return ticket Tokyo - Kyoto/Osaka. Now you get 7 days of unlimited travel for the same price, so I'd certainly recommend one. You could for instance use your JR Pass for local travel around Tokyo or make a day trip from there.

Hope this helps!

Hi Daniel,

That's brilliant,

I will definitely get a 7 day pass and do two separate trips to both places to give us more time at each location.

It has certainly helped :-) Thank you very much!
