Back to Using the Japan Rail Pass
Does JR Pass make sense or should we just do it for 7 or 14 days

Hi there,
For your multi-region itinerary, a 21-day Nationwide JR Pass is strongly recommended. It covers all your major Shinkansen and long-distance routes, making your journeys seamless and hassle-free. Please note that you will still need to make a seat reservation for the Shinkansen.
Kind Regards,
Mariko

Ok - thank you I was wondering since we are spending lot of time in the alps and not needing many trains there if it still made sense for the entire time to have the JR pass? Or is it more of an issue of convenience rather than cost?
