non JR travel in Tokyo, Osaka & Kyoto

Hi there,

If you're not doing a return up to Tokyo, then I think I would recommend single tickets over a JR Pass for this trip.

Your options for travel around each city are:

• purchasing individual tickets as you need them (¥100-200 per trip), possibly through prepaid cards.
• 1 day metro/bus travel cards (Kyoto, Osaka & Tokyo).
• [Kansai Thru Pass]for travel within the Kansai area (Osaka/Kyoto incl. metro+bus services).

You should also look into the [Narita Express + Suica prepaid travel card] combination deal which can also give you good savings on transport within Tokyo.

Hope this helps!
