Hi!

This November-December me and my boyfriend will be going to Japan together.
I'm struggling a bit to decide on buying a JR pass or buying tickets individually for transportation we need to catch.
If it is a JR pass, which one?

If someone could help me decide from our planned trip below, that would be great! :)

Tokyo to Fujikawaguchiko - 28th of Nov (staying in Fujikawaguchiko till the 1st of Dec)

Fujikawaguchiko to Nagoya - 1st of Dec (staying in Nagoya till the 4th of Dec)

Nagoya to Shiga - 4th of Dec (staying in Shiga till the 7th of Dec)

Shiga to Osaka - 7th of Dec (staying in Osaka till the 11th of Dec)

Osaka to Nagano - 11th of Dec (staying in Nagano until 13th of Dec)

Nagano to Tokyo - 13th of Dec (staying in Tokyo until the 16th of Dec)

Total stay: 20 days.

I am aware for Fujikawaguchiko we would most likely take a bus but for the rest, I'm not so sure.
Any help would be super appreciated!

Thank you!

Hi there,

I checked your trip for the best option, but there really is not a single solution that would cover your trip and help you make savings. As such, I think it would be best to buy the tickets as you travel. For example, the bus to Kawaguchiko, then another bus to Nagoya, then the train to Shiga and so on.

To make your travel easier, get an IC card like Suica, which saves a lot of hassle buying normal tickets.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
