Hi there,
Me and friend are going to Japan on August 21st till August 31. We are U.S. citizen and full time students at University .
Our Itinerary is as fallows:
Arriving Narita Airport
August 21- August 25 => Kyoto
August 25- August 26 => Osaka
August 26- August 31=> Tokyo
August 31, go back to Narita Air port.
I guess our only option would be buying the 14 day pass?
Would there be any discount for us being students?
Thank You
Hi there!
Looking at your travel I recommend you purchase the 7 day pass to cover your travel down to kansai from Tokyo and back. You should make a small saving over buying regular tickets, but will have the flexibility to do any further jr travel for free (for example a day trip to Hiroshima). Based on your itinerary I don't think a 14 day pass will be cost effective without further travel so I don't recommend that option.
I'm afraid that as the jrpass is already a heavily discounted ticket there are no student discounts available.
