Hello!
I'm planning a trip to Japan soon and I think the JR pass is the best option. Our itinerary is:
-Tokyo-Hakone -Hakone-Nara -Nara-Kyoto -Kyoto-Osaka -Osaka-Kyoto -Kyoto-Tokyo.

However, I am not sure if I can use the JR pass on any lines to go from Hakone/Odawara to Kyoto/Nara. Is there a line that covers this journey for which I can use my JR pass to travel? Or do I need to pay for the tickets separately?
And another question, is it necessary to book the seats/tickets for each trip or can you access the trains without reserving a seat/ticket? I understand that in the case that I needed to book the tickets this can only be done in train stations in Japa, right? I can't book them in advance from Spain, can I?

Arigato!
Carla

Hi Carla,

The JR Pass covers travel to Nara and Odawara too! Though, travel within Hakone will likely need additional tickets.

Both are possible, some people just prefer to hop on and take a non-reserved seat, while others feel more secure having seating ahead of time. Seat can indeed be reserved once you have activated the JR Pass and are in Japan.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Thank you very much Daniel-san!
Just to be sure, which line(s) can we take from Odawara to Nara? Is it the Kodama and Hikari trains to Kyoto and then the JR Nara Line?
Thank you so much for your attention! You are being very helpful.

Hi there,

Yes, that's correct. Any Kodama/Hikari service to Kyoto station, then the JR Nara like to (you guessed it!) Nara.

Kind regards,
Daniel
