Hallo

I am spending some weeks in Japan in 2019 starting from Shin-Osaka.

30/4 - 13/5 to Kumamoto/Nagasaki/Hakata
then on to Matsue/Tottori and back to Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto.

I am thinking of using 7 day Sanyo Sanin Northern Kyushu Pass and 7 day Sanyo Sanin Area Pass. These seem good for Nozomi which is a plus. But maybe no advantage over JR All Japan Pass?

Later I would like to return the long way to Tokyo from Shin Osaka via Kanazawa Lake Biwa, Hikone etc and am considering Hokuriku Arch Pass also 7 days. Time isn't an issue.

Later on in June I travel north to Hirosaki then Hokkaido and wondered about 6out of 14 day JR EAST South Hokkaido Pass to get to Hakodate.
Then Hokkaido 7 day Passes maybe although I will be travelling in Hokkaido until approx 9 July and need to return to Tokyo from Sendai on 14July for flight from Haneda having spent 5 days in Sendai.

I usually buy JR All Japan Pass for one month's travel but hopefully you can help find cheaper option for longer stay?

Thank you.

Hi there,

I think you did you research well. These passes would work for the routes that you travel. The only advice I have at this point is, see how much you'd spend buying a 21 day Japan Rail Pass compared to different regional passes. A regional pass for 7 days is often (a lot) cheaper than a 7 day Japan Rail Pass but for a 21 day JR Pass, it is a different story.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
