First time to Japan

Hi there,

Yes, the JR Pass will cover travel to all these places and more! With a 7 day JR Pass in mind, I would do 3 days Kyoto 2 days Osaka 1 day Hiroshima and 1 day for general travel back to Tokyo. Then spend the remaining days in/around Tokyo.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

I was planning on flying into Osaka but thats not possible now because of the Typhoon. So I am flying into Haneda. With the JR Pass can I get to Osaka from there? I was thinking going from Haneda to Osaka, then to Kyoto and Hiroshima then back to Tokyo. So I think I may do 2 days Osaka, 3 Kyoto, 1 day Hiroshima and spend the rest of the time in Tokyo. Can I get around Tokyo using the subway system after and buses easily?

Hi there,

Yes, the JR Pass covers Haneda - Osaka. Since local travel around Tokyo itself does not cost a lot, using normal tickets or a Suica card will work well there :)

Hope this helps,
Daniel
