Hi there, I am trying to work out if the following if it makes sense to purchase a JR pass for my upcoming holiday. If it is better to buy individual passes or train tickets, how do I do that and can I pre-purchase them here on this website?

Day 1 - Airport Limousine Bus
Day 2 - Omiya Saitama to Iiyama Station
Day 3 & 4 - Ski Resort
Day 5 - Iiyama Station to Shinagawa Station
Day 6 - Shinagawa Station to Fukushima Station (Osaka)
Day 7 - Fukushima Station to Nara Station (Round Trip)
Day 8 - Fukushima Station to Kobe (Round Trip)
Day 9 - Fukushima Station to Kyoto (Round Trip)
Day 10 - Fukushima Station to Universal City / Universal Studios Japan (Round Trip)
Day 11 - Fukushima Station to Shinjuku Station (Tokyo)
Day 12 & 13 - Sightseeing within Tokyo / Shinjuku
Day 14 - Hotel shuttle bus to DisneySea
Day 15 - Hotel shuttle bus to DisneyLand
Day 16 - Sightseeing within Tokyo / Shinjuku, Airport limousine bus

We are trying to work out if it is worth it to purchase a JR pass, and if so, should we get a 14 day pass or is a 7 day pass enough? Thank you!!!

Hi there,

Given your itinerary, the 7-day Nationwide JR Pass would be the best option. You can start using your pass from Day 5, and it will be valid until Day 11.

However, there is no exchange office at Iiyama Station. You should go to the office at Omiya Station instead to activate your pass when you can.

Kind Regards,

Mariko
