Hi Daniel-san,
I have planned my first upcoming 14-days trip to Japan on february 5-19.
Here is my itinary:
day1: Kansai airport-> Osaka
day3: Osaka -> Kyoto
between day 3 and 9: round trip to Nara
day 9: Kyoto -> Hiroshima
day 11: Hiroshima -> Tokyo
day 14: Tokyo -> Narita airport
Could you kindly comment if it would be beneficial to purchase a 7-days JR pass ? Or purchase separate passes?
Here are the price I found on hyperdia without JR pass, are they correct?
day1: Kansai airport-> Osaka station: 1160 yen (JR kansai rapid service)
day3: Osaka -> Kyoto station: 540 yen (JR special rapid service)
between day 3 and 9: round trip to Nara: 690 yen x2 (JR Nara line local)
day 9: Kyoto -> Hiroshima: 10590 yen (Shinkansen Hikari 493)
day 11: Hiroshima -> Tokyo -> shinjuku: 18050 yen (Shinkansen sakura 566/Shinkansen Hikari 538) + 190 yen
day 14: Tokyo -> Narita airport: 2740 yen (LTD, EXP NARITA express 15)
If I buy JR pass, do I have to buy additional metro subway/bus passes for Osaka/Kyoto/Kyoto in each city?
Thank you very much,
Emmanuelle
