Hi,

I need advise regarding the most economic option for 14 days travel in Japan with he following itinerary:

8 days in Tokyo including:
* transfer from the Haneda airport * transport across Tokyo city * return transport to Fiji one da

6 days in Kyoto:
* transport (return trip) between Tokyo and Kyoto by Shinkansen * return trip Kyoto - Nara * return trip Kyoto - Osaka * return trip Kyoto-Himei * return trip Kyoto - Sekigahara * local transport around Kyoto

  • 1 day in Tokyo including transfer to Narita airport

Can you please specify each trip's individual costs and compare it with any pass you recommend

Hi there,

The trip from Haneda as well as a return trip for Shin-Fuji Station will be about 6000JPY, equivalent to about £33. Any additional costs are dependent on how much you choose to travel with public transport.

Each way, a Shinkansen ticket between Kyoto and Tokyo will cost approximately £75 each way. Return trip to Kyoto from Nara is about £8 via the Nara Line. Kyoto to Osaka is about £6 for the return trip. Return trip for Kyoto-Himeji is about £26. Kyoto-Sekigahara return trip is about £20. These prices are based on current train fare prices and so should be considered as an estimate - however based on this it seems like purchasing your tickets individually would come out to be slightly cheaper than a 7-day JR Pass for the second portion of your trip, and so if you're willing to purchase everything individually then this would be your most cost-effective option.

Kind regards,

Alexis
