will a 14 day pass work for us

Hi Adarsh,

Here is a cost breakdown for you:

1. Narita airport terminal 1 > Shinjuku(jr): ¥3,310 (84mins, 89km)
2. Shinjuku(jr) > Hiroshima: ¥17,850 (317mins, 898km)
3. Hiroshima > Miyajimaguchi: ¥400 (26mins, 21km)
4. Miyajimaguchi > Hiroshima: ¥400 (26mins, 21km)
5. Hiroshima > Osaka: ¥10,220 (109mins, 345km)
6. Osaka > Kyoto: ¥540 (28mins, 42km)
7. Kyoto > Odawara: ¥11,550 (160mins, 429km)
8. Odawara > Tokyo: ¥3,440 (35mins, 83km)
9. Tokyo > Narita airport terminal 1: ¥3,140 (58mins, 79km)

JR ticket cost: ¥50,850 for 9 legs

• 14 day Japan Rail Pass (¥45,100) saving: ¥5,750

As you can see you'll make good savings with the 14 day pass, retain flexibility and will also not have to worry about purchasing JR tickets as you travel so I think I can recommend the 14 day pass to you. You will also be able to make good use of the JR Pass in Tokyo - here's a map of JR lines in Tokyo for reference

Please note that for Koyasan the JR Pass will get you to Osaka. From here you should use the non-JR Nankai rail up to Koyasan. Also, for Hakone the JR Pass will get you to Odawara. From here you should use the non-JR Odakyu lines upto Hakone. I recommend the Hakone Free Pass for this.

Hope this helps!

Dear Mari,

Thank you very much for your reply. It was very informative and helpful. I think I will then go in for the 14 day pass. and buy the Hakone free pass also.

Best Regards

Adarsh
