Trying to figure out if buying JR pass makes sense, like many people. Would be 3 adults, 1 child. We will primarily take public transportation within our destinations as well, which having the pass cover some/most of that would be easier.
11/3- Haneda to Tokyo
11/5 - Tokyo to Kyoto
11/8 - Kyoto to Hiroshima
11/9- Hiroshima to Hakone
11/11 - Hakone to Fuji Q
11/12 - Fuji Q to Tokyo
11/13 - Tokyo to Haneda
It seems Nozomi tickets cost the same as non-Nozomi tickets if you purchase individual tickets but cost more with the JR pass? (at least the individual ticket prices i looked at for comparison were the same - is that mostly the case?)
