My husband and I are planning a trip to Japan this Fall; arriving in Osaka on September 28 and departing from Tokyo October 15th. Tentatively staying in Osaka for 4-5 nights with a day trip to Hiroshima (most likely a booked tour); then to Kyoto for 4-5 days and then to Tokyo for the remainder of our stay. Planning a day trip from Tokyo to Hakone / Mount Fuji area (most likely a booked tour). Should we consider a JP Pass? If yes, should we get the 21 day pass even though we aren't staying 21 days/

Hi there,
If your booked Hiroshima tour does not include Shinkansen tickets, you could consider the Kansai-Hiroshima Area Pass, which can be useful for covering Osaka-Hiroshima and regional travel within Kansai. However, since your trips are spread out over several days and include longer stays in each location, you may find that individual tickets are the most cost-effective and flexible option overall.
I hope this helps!
Kind Regards,
Mariko
