Hi there - we plan to visit Japan between the 14th and 29th of November. Here is our planned itinerary -
14 Nov Haneda Airport → Tokyo
17 Nov Tokyo → Takayama
20 Nov Takayama -Kyoto
22 Nov Kyoto - Nara (return)
23 Nov Kyoto - Osaka (return)
24 Nov Kyoto - Kobe (return)
26 Nov Kyoto - Nagasaki
29 Nagasaki -Fukuoka Airport
Can you advise if we are better buying a rail pass or individual train tickets.
Thank you
Hi there,
For your itinerary it is likely that your most cost-effective option would be to purchase your tickets individually, so if you want to save as much as possible I’d suggest not purchasing a JR Pass.
Kind regards,
Alexis
Thank you very much for the advice. First time in Japan so can t wait:)
Hi
One more query for you - if we buy one of the regional passes (Eg to cover our travel around the Kyoto area) do we need to order this in advance before we arrive in Japan?
Kind Regards
Elizabeth
