I am going to get a 7 day pass but the 8th day I leave from Narita. I will be staying in Tokyo. Is it better to get regular ticket from Fukuoka to Hiroshima or to get a ticket from Tokyo to Narita airport. What is the coast of both? Thank you
fare from Fukuoka to Hiroshima
I am buying a pass but I don't know what the better day to activate it. Either going from Fukuoka to Hiroshima or buy a ticket for that day or activate it right away and buy a ticket for Tokyo to Narita airport?
Hmm. I'm not 100% I understand your questions, but I'll do my best!
The costs of the trips you mention:
- Fukuoka/Hakata > Hiroshima = ¥8700
- Tokyo > Narita Airport = ¥2940
Probably if I had to choose based on price alone, I recommend you choose to pay for the Tokyo > Narita leg, and use the rail pass to go from Fukuoka to Hiroshima.
Hope this helps!
To save money, use the pass on the most expensive days of travel - usually that is taking the bullet train.
There is good info seeing Fukuoka on:
