We (2 adults) land in to Haneda on 26th September and head to Yokohama to stay overnight.
Heading to Kobe on 27th September to 1st October
Back to Yokohama for a Cruise from 1 Oct to 7 Oct
Staying in Yokohama until 10th October but heading to Shizuoka Stadium Ecopa on 9th October.

I think a JP Pass will cover our journeys, but would it be cheaper to buy individual tickets as we have a cruise in the middle of our stay. Or should I buy 2 x 7 day passes or a 14 day?
We would like to go to Osaka and do a few day trips whilst in Kobe so would like to travel by train using the JR pass, so this leans me towards the JR rail pass again.
The game in Shizuko is late afternoon (4.15pm) so would we be able to make it back to Yokohama after the game? I think we would be looking to get a train around 7pm and think it is around 85 minutes according to Hyperdia.com but not too sure all the different lines are included in the pass.

Hi there,

Doing Yokohama - Kobe - Yokohama
and Yokohama - Suzuka - Yokohama

Both as a return trip by Shinkansen will roughly be equal in cost to a 14 day JR Pass. So depending on any other travel you do, the pass may be worth it.

You should be fine getting back to Yokohama (the last train possible is around 21:30 from Nagoya station. However, I would reserve your seats for the return trip before the games, as more people will be going back. In Hyperdia, any train service called Kodama or Hikari can be used between Nagoya and Yokohama.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
