Hello! Would you recommend purchasing a JR Pass based on my itinerary in January?
Jan 1-2: Osaka
3: Osaka - Kyoto - Osaka (day trip)
4: Osaka - Hakone
5: Hakone - Tokyo
6-7: Tokyo
8: Haneda Airport
Second question, if I do purchase how would I use the JR Pass to travel the Yamanote Line in Tokyo? Do I physically show it to ticket guard or can I link the JR Pass to an IC card to use the automated gates? Thanks
Hello Ron.tsang,
For this route, I recommend buying normal tickets. A JR Pass makes sense if you make a return to Osaka to Tokyo. When going one way, it does not pay off.
The new JR Pass has a magnetic side, that can be used to enter/exit the station gates.
Hope this helps,
Daniel
Thank you Daniel-san!
