My family will be travelling to Japan in late Nov/ early Dec period. There are 2 elderly(with some difficulty walking), 2 adults , 2 teens and 2 child for a 11 day trip.

Day 1: Arrival at Kansai Airport - Travel to Shinsaibashi area - Shop around Namba Station area

Day 2: Kurumon Market - Osaka Castle - Cup Noodle Museum - Dotonbori area

Day 3: Kobe - Mt Rokko - Chinatown - Motomachi Station - Osaka

Day 4: USJ

Day 5: Kyoto - Kiyomizo Temple - Fushimi Inari Shrine - Osaka

Day 6: Travel to Toyko, Kinshico Station area.

Day 7: Asakusa area - Tsujiki Outer Market - Tokyo Metropolitan Building -Shibuya

Hi there,

I checked your itinerary and for this trip a JR Pass would not help you make savings. As my advice is to just buy the tickets as you travel and need them.

A 7-day JR Pass would have made sense, in case of a return Kansai - Tokyo with the Shinkansen bullet trains.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
