We are 2 friends travelling to Japan in November and trying to figure out wether it’s better to buy jrpass or individual tickets for our itinerary
31st oct - 4th Tokyo based and doing day trips
- Tokyo to Nikko
- Tokyo to Kawaguchiko (Mt Fuji)
- Tokyo to Odawara / Nebukawa for Enoura Observatory
4th Nov - evening Tokyo to Kyoto (3 days)
8th - Kyoto to Nara
9th - Kyoto to Himeji and Kobe
Considering Hiroshima instead of Himeji / Kobe
10th - Kyoto to Takayama
12th - Takayama to Tokyo
Back to Using the Japan Rail Pass
Is getting jrpass worth it for our trip?

Hi there,
Because of the length of your itinerary it is likely that a JR Pass would not be a cost-effective option for your itinerary. I would therefore suggest purchasing your tickets individually, unless you were to shorten your itinerary by one day so that your train journeys could be fit into a 7-day window.
Kind regards,
Alexis
