Tokyo - Hakone - Kyoto - Hiroshima

Hello there,

I checked the route to see if a JR Pass would be helpful. The most expancive routes would be Hakone (Odawara station) ¥ 13,600 - Kyoto and Kyoto - Hiroshima ¥ 11,090. Together these routes are below the price of a 7 day JR Pass (¥ 29,110). So it's better to buy normal tickets using for this route.

The JR Pass would have been a very good option though, if you used the Shinkansen to return to Tokyo.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Daniel,
Thank you for your response. If we include the use of the pass for the ferry to Miyajima Island and a day trip to Himeji Castle from Kyoto, would this now make sense to have a pass. If the pass makes sense, should we consider the "green' pass?

Hello again,

The price difference is around 4,500yen. So a JR Pass be a good option if you can cover that amount.

Kyoto - Himeji using the Shinkansen is ¥ 5,590/one way. So a JR Pass would work veery well here. In addition the ferry to Miyajima is also covered.

A Green Class pass is very nice if you want to extra comfort and quiet it offers. Ordinary class however is also good and is fine for most travelers.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
