JR Pass or Individual

Hi there,

For your itinerary, individual tickets are likely more cost-effective than a 14-day JR Pass. However, if you will be spending a significant amount of time in Tokyo, a 7-day JR Pass could be useful for long-distance Shinkansen travel (Tokyo-Kyoto-Hiroshima-Tokyo).

The JR Pass is valid for travel to and from both Narita Airport and Nagano.

While you can board local trains freely with your JR Pass, you will need to make seat reservations for all Shinkansen (bullet train) journeys.

I hope this helps!

Kind Regards,

Mariko
