Hi,
I'm going to stay in Osaka for a week (8 days to be exact) in coming December. I will be making a round trip to Tokyo, a round Trip to Kyoto, and possibly a round trip to Kobe from there during the stay. Would a 7-day JR Pass be worthwhile? If not, what would be your suggestion for the transportations of those inbound trips? Thanks.
Hi guu,
As a general rule, as long as you have a round trip from Tokyo to Osaka (or Kyoto), then a 7 day JR Pass will be worth purchasing. Here are your legs just to be sure:
Total: ¥28,960
If you add another ¥2200 the leg to or from Kansai International Airport, that would also be covered by a JR Pass and you will save around ¥2000 with a JR Pass (¥28,300), in addition to having the flexibility to go off to other parts of Japan on day trips should the fancy take you.
Recommendation: 7 day JR Pass
Hiroshima, Takayama and Kinosaki onsen are also all good day trips form Osaka you could fit into your holiday.
Hope this helps!
Yes, the 7-day JR Pass would include a single trip from/to the airport too. Unfortunately I'm staying for 8 days so it can't cover both. Thank you, mari.
