Hi,
my sister and I are planning a trip to Japan in the beginning of April 2014. Our itinerary will be as follows:-
- fly to Osaka
- Osaka to Hakone (2 nights)
- Hakone to Tokyo (3 nights)
- Tokyo to Kyoto (2 nights)
- back to Osaka (3 nights)
What would be the best option, whether a 7-day JR pass or normal rail fare?
Thank you.
Jess
Hi Jess!
Yes, I think a 7 day JR Pass would work out well for you! The price of the 7 day JRPass is about the same as a return Osaka/Kyoto - Tokyo and any additional travel after that is actually what you save. You can also use the JR Pass on local JR trains in both Tokyo and Osaka.
I would also recommend looking into a Hakone Free Pass, this because you can use the JR Pass to reach Hakone but not for local travel within the area. Here the Hakone Free Pass makes a great addition.
I hope this helps!
