Hi,
I planned a 10 day Japan visit (15 to 24 Aug) with itinerary as follows:
- Narita- Tokyo
- Tokyo - Kyoto
- Kyoto - Nagoya
- Nagoya- Toyota city (and back)
- Nagoya - Tokyo
- Tokyo - Narita
perhaps I will add Kyoto-Nara and Tokyo-Yokohama (both return)
Is it better to have 7 day or 14 day railway pass ?
Thanks so much
Hi there!
To understand if a 7 day (¥28,300) or 14 day (¥45,100) rail pass makes sense for you lets first take a look at your projected ticket costs (including your 'maybe' destinations):
TOTAL: ¥59570 for 11 legs
As you can see, based on these costs, you will make large savings using either the 7 or 14 day pass. I think the deciding factor about which pass you decide to get will depend on when you do your final Nagoya > Tokyo trip. As you can see these are expensive trips, and if they are after day 7 while you are in Japan will mean you should go for the 14 day pass. If your last Nagoya trips are done within the first 7 day period, then I recommend you purchase a 7 day pass for maximum savings.
Hope this helps!
Thanks a lot for the info.... really helps
