Hello,

I have 4 adults travelling to Japan in May. We land at Haneda airport then into Tokyo for 7 days then we are catching the bullet train to kyoto then to Osaka thne onto hiroshima before having to catch the bullet train back to tokyo for our flight home. We are in Japan for 15 days including the days we fly in and out.

I was wondering if it would be worth it to buy a JR pass?

Thank you,
Tyla

Hi there,

With your itinerary it is unlikely you'll break even in terms of money spent, although it's still an option to look in to if you want the organisational benefits of the JR Pass in terms of planning and reserving seats on trains.

Hope this helps!

Alexis
