Hello – could you please help determine if a 7-day JR pass is worth it for the below itinerary? If it’s worth it, which 7 days should the pass be activated.

Day 1: Kansas Airport to Osaka
Day 2: Osaka
Day 3: Osaka or Osaka to Kobe (day trip)
Day 4: Osaka to Kyoto
Day 5: Kyoto (Arashiyama)
Day 6: Kyoto (Fujiwara)
Day 7: Kyoto to Tokyo
Day 8: Tokyo
Day 9: Tokyo
Day 10: Tokyo
Day 11: Tokyo to Narita Airport

Also - is there a way to purchase Shinkansen tickets online if not purchasing the JR pass?

Thank you!

Hi there,

In general, we recommend using a 7-day JR Pass if you travel at least a return between Tokyo - Kyoto/Osaka. In your case this is online one way, so it will be better to just buy normal tickets for your trip.

Yes, you can use Ekinet to buy tickets.

Kind regards,
Daniel
