Should I buy JR Pass

Hi Sandy,

A 7-day JR Pass is just about the same price as a return Tokyo - Osaka by bullet train, everything you travel after, is actually what you save. I would suggest buying normal tickets in your case, as you only go one way with in a addition to some local travel around Kansai and Tokyo.

The N'ex + Suica package can only be bought at Narita Airport, instead you could look into buying an all day metro pass, which can offer some really good value too!

I hope this helps,
Daniel

Thank you Daniel.
Do I need to book in advance for the one way journey from Kyoto to Tokyo or just simply buy when I leave?
Does the all day metro pass in Tokyo cover most of the network?
Thanks again.
Sandy

Good morning from Europe,

Trains between Kyoto - Tokyo leave every 10-15 minutes, so there's not need to buy a ticket long in advance. I would buy it the moment you plan to travel.

The Metro Ticket includes all metro lines in Tokyo. Here's a coverage map.

Enjoy Japan!
