1 or 2 week pass

Hi there,

Prepaid travel cards are the easiest way of getting around Tokyo using public transport. The JR Pass includes travel on the JR Yamanote Line which covers a lot of central Tokyo.

I would suggest purchasing a 7-day JR Pass for the first half of your trip, given that that is when most of your shinkansen journeys are. Fuji and Nikko etc. are relatively close to Tokyo and so the prices of tickets for those train journeys will be significantly cheaper than long-distance shinkansen tickets.

Hope this helps!

Thanks Alexis for your reply. It seems cheaper according to google maps to pay for our 3 long train trips as we go.
Tokyo -Kyoto -Hiroshima - Yokohama comes to 45000 yen and the pass is 50000 yen.
Does that seem right to you ??
Thanks 🙏
