Is a JR pass or individual tickets better for our itinerary?

Good afternoon,
We are traveling with a family (2 children aged 7 and 10) to Japan.

We are traveling from Osaka-Hiroshima-Miyajima-Hiroshima-Kyoto-Kanazawa. Here we rent a car and continue (via Shirawaka go and Takayama) to Kawaguchiko. We return the car at Tokyo Katata-Koku and from there we want to go to Tokyo Shinjuku and 1 day from Tokyo we want to go to Harry Potter Warner bross Studios in Tokyo.

Is a JR the best for us or do you recommend separate tickets?

Greetings

Alexis

Hi there,

For your itinerary I'd either suggest purchasing your tickets individually, or having a look at one of our Kansai Regional Passes depending on the duration of your trip, as I don't know the exact dates of your itinerary. Because you are not including the return to Tokyo by train, it is unlikely that purchasing a JR Pass will be a cost-effective option for you.

Kind regards,

Alexis
