Hallo,
My husband and I will be travelling the following itinerary, and we would like to understand if we should buy the Regional Pass or the General Travel Pass:
Tokyo
Kyoto
Nara
Kanazawa
Shirakawa
Takayama
Kamikochi
Matsumoto
Nagano
Obuse
Tokyo
What would you recommend?
Thank you!
Hi there,
If your major train journeys can be fit into a 7-day window, I'd suggest purchasing a 7-day JR Pass. If not, it is likely to be more cost-effective to purchase your tickets individually. However, a 14/21 day JR Pass will still cover most of your itinerary and so it is still an option worth looking into if you feel that a pass is better suited for you.
Hope this helps!
Alexis
