Hello, we have just bought the JR pass for 14 days - this is our itineary - would like to confirm where all can we use the JR pass -

Arrive Narita airport April 20 - Toyko 4 nights (Keio Plaza Hotel)
April 24 - Hiroshima 2 nights - stay in miyajima
April 26 - Osaka 2 nights - debating whether to stay near Umeda or Namba ?
April 28 Kyoto 3 nights - Royal park hotel
May 1 Hakone 2 nights
May 3 -take train to Narita airport from hakone.

Is all this possible on the JR pass. In addtion - can we use the JR pass for travel in Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto ?

Any other recommendations ?

Thank you
Esther

Hi there,

Most of your itinerary is accessible via JR Pass. The most expensive Shinkansen journeys are all included, but to get to Hakone I would recommend purchasing a Hakone FreePass with a return ticket to Odawara - from there you can easily get to Tokyo and then Narita.

The JR Pass includes travel on any JR lines - this includes the JR Yamanote line, the main metro line around Tokyo, as well as the Osaka Loop line.

Your itinerary seems very good - if you want to add more you can perhaps add a day trip to Nara from Kyoto.

Kind regards,

Alexis
