Hello!
We will be staying in Japan for 3 weeks.
I wanted to ask if the JR Pass for 3 weeks makes sense if we are traveling
-from Narita airport to Tokyo and stay there for one week
-visiting Osaka, Kyoto and Hiroshima in week two
-go back from Osaka to Tokyo in week three
-and need to go back from Tokyo to Narita airport at the end of our stay
?
Is there a train connection between Tokyo and Osaka where we can use the JR Pass without extra costs?
Thanks for your answers in advance!
Hi there,
1.) A 14-day JR Pass is likely the best option here. Local travel within Tokyo is not that costly, and you'd make good savings with a 14-day JR Pass to Kyoto, Hiroshima, Osaka and back.
2.) Yes, you can use any Hikari train for free between Tokyo and Kyoto/Osaka using the Shinkansen.
Kind regards,
Daniel
