Hello,

We are coming to Japan in October. I want to understand if the price of the JP Railpass is cheaper than our separate trips across Japan. I did a quick check and it doesn’t seem to be worth it to purchase a 7 day JP pass.

Our itinerary is:

Single trip from Tokyo airport to central Tokyo centre
Return day trip from Tokyo to Nikko and back to Tokyo
Single journey Tokyo to Kyoto
Single journey Tokyo to Osaka
Return trip Osaka to Koyasan and Koyasan back to Osaka one day later
Single trio Osaka to the Osaka airport

Thank you
ChanLee

Hi ChanLee,

Your calculations are correct, for this trip it would cost less to buy normal tickets, than using a JR Pass.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
