Hello!

We are traveling with 2 boys ages 8 and 9 from April 18th to April 29th.

Trying to figure out which JR pass to purchase.

We are flying into Haneda on April 18th, then staying in Tokyo until April 24th, then traveling to Kyoto for April 25 and 26.

then we are going to Osaka for April 27 and 28th, finally ending in Nagoya for one night and flying from Nagoya on April 29th.

Which pass will be the best for us? Regional pass?

Also need the best passes for Tokyo and Osaka Metros

Thank you in Advance!! Can't wait to get to Japan!

Hi Jay,

For your itinerary, I recommend a 7-day JR Pass, starting from the 23rd to the 29th of April, as none of the regional passes cover the entire route.

For metros, you can use the Welcome Suica card. It is a prepaid IC card that you can use on metros, buses, and even some shops in Japan. Simply touch the card to the reader when entering and exiting the station or bus. You can purchase the Welcome Suica card at JR East Travel Service Centers located in major airports and JR stations in Japan.

I hope this helps!

Kind Regards,

Mariko
