Hello,
I have been reading a lot about Japan Rail Pass, but am still unsure if a 7 day JR pass is worth it or if I should get separate tickets. My itinerary is as follows:
30 January: Arrive Osaka and transfer to Kyoto
30 January - 1 February : Stay Kyoto (visit Kyoto, Nara and Osaka)
2 February: Leave Kyoto to Nozawa Onsen (skiing)
2 February to 5 February: Stay Nozawa Onsen (skiing)
6 February: Leave Nozawa Onsen to Tokyo
6 February - 7 February: Stay Tokyo.
8 February: Narita express from Tokyo
I have tried using Hypermedia to gauge costs, but it returns a much longer route from Kyoto to Nozawa Onsen, than the one listed on their website: Kyoto - Nogoya Station - Nagano Station -Nozawa Onsen. I was planning to use the 7 day pass from 2 Feb to 8 Feb to save costs on the two long journeys, any information on whether its worth it would be much appreciated. Thanks
