local transportation

Hi there,

The JR Pass is valid on the local JR Network in Tokyo. However, other transport like the Metro is not included.

Local cost however is only a fraction of your transport cost if you travel longer distances, it is mostly the Shinkansen which is the most expensive and it is here where the JR Pass really shines and give you the best possible value.

A 7 day JR Pass would be a good option if you can at least include a return Tokyo - Osaka with it.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
