How many days pass should I get

Hi Jenny,

1.) I recommend taking the Narita Express from Narita Airport to Shinjuku station. Its the fastest and most convenient way of getting there.

I recommend using normal tickets for your itinerary. A 7 day JR Pass would have been useful if used for a return Tokyo - Kyoto/Osaka but a 14 day JR Pass would need more travel in order to pay off. So the best remaining option would be to simply buy normal tickets.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Thanks you Daniel.
If I use 7 days pass start from Tokyo to Osaka, then Kyoto.
On last day I will buy normal ticket to Tokyo Narita airport, would it be cheaper?
Also do I need to purchase normal ticket in advance just in case I can't get any tickets..

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

There is no need to reserve tickets long in advance, as trains rarely sell out. Only during peak moments should you reserve tickets 2-4 days in advance.

As for the JR Pass, a 7 day JR Pass would be helpful for Tokyo - Osaka - Kyoto - Tokyo, then it would be worth it.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
