Tokyo to Hakone - Nov 3
Hakone to Tokyo - Nov. 5
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you,

Hi there,
The only pass that would cover your itinerary up until Miyajima to Tokyo is a regular JR Pass. Although you will be using the Shinkansen, it is likely that purchasing your tickets individually would come out to be slightly cheaper meaning that your most cost-effective option would be to purchase your tickets individually. Despite this, a JR Pass is still an option worth looking into if you are looking to avoid the hassle of purchasing things individually. In any case, travel to Hakone isn’t covered by any of the JR Passes so if you are considering a pass I’d recommend it for the first part of your trip.
Kind regards,
Alexis
