14 or 21 day pass? Train from Kyoto to Amanohashidade/Myatzu

Hi Ann,

I assume that you mean Amonohashidate near Kyoto?
You can take a direct limited express train from Kyoto station which takes 127 Minutes / ¥ 4,380 for one way. Note that the last part is not covered by the JR Pass and you would have to pay ¥ 1430 extra if you travel with a JR Pass.

As for what pass to travel with, I see that you actually won't be traveling on trains that much. It would really depend on what you plan to visit around and after (?) Tokyo, if a JR Pass would be useful. For the first part of your travel up to going to Tokyo I would just stick with buying normal tickets and consider a JR Pass after, depending on how much you plan to travel and see.

I hope this helps!

Hi Daniel,
Thanks a lot - you've really confirmed what I thought.
We'll probably buy a pass for the second half of our trip.
I'm impressed with the speed of your service - great!
