Hello
We are 3 adults traveling from California to Haneda Airport at the beginning of April.
Can you tell if the JP pass will be a good purchase for us ?

We arrive April 6 to Haneda Airport late and will need to get to Yokohama for 2 nights traveling to Tokyo for day trips
We go to Kamakura for 2 nights
Osaka for 3 nights (Nara for day trip)
Hiroshima for 2 nights (Maiyajima for day trip)
Kyoto for 3 nights
Back to Yokohama for 1 night (go to Tokyo then to Haneda Airport for departure)
Our hotels are booked but need assistance on train travel
Do we need to reserve our seats on the train in advance ?

Hi there,

For your itinerary, it would be best to use a 7-day Nationwide JR Pass from your last day in Osaka to your departure for Yokohama, as this covers your travel to Hiroshima, Miyajima, Kyoto, and Yokohama. You can use individual tickets for the rest of your journey.

For route searches, I recommend using Navitime, a route search website and app.

To ride the Shinkansen (bullet train), a seat reservation is required. Seat reservations can be made at any JR Train Station ticket office (Midori-no-madoguchi) or ticket machine upon your arrival in Japan.

I hope this helps!

Kind Regards,

Mariko
