Hi,
We will be travelling to Japan in May and our itinerary is as follows:
Day 1 - arrive Narita airport and travel to Tokyo
Day 3 - train from Tokyo to Onomichi
Day 7 - train from Onomichi to Kyoto
Day 8 - Kyoto to Nara day trip
Day 16 - Tokyo to Narita
When I searched for cost saving with a 21 day pass it did not produce a saving, but would it be recommended to have a 7 or 14 day pass for part of our trip?
Many thanks
Katy
Hi Katy,
Let's have a look at fares:
Day 1 - arrive Narita airport and travel to Tokyo ¥ 3,070
Day 3 Tokyo - Onomichi ¥ 18,320
Day 7 - Onomich to Kyoto ¥ 9,420
For a total of ¥ 30,810 versus the cost of a 7-day JR Pass of ¥ 29,650. As you can see, it is a small difference but the JR Pass is a bit cheaper and should provide nice value when used for local travel in Tokyo (and perhaps Onomichi as well).
Kind regards,
Daniel
