JR pass worth my trip?

Hi I have tried using some of the apps online to figure out if the JR pass is worth it. I have been reading Reddit forms and I am getting mixed information. Some say its worth it, while other say its not. I have a headache from reading and trying to figure this out. Can someone help me with my itinerary?

7 day Pass

Narita - Shibuya-ku (tokyo)
Shibuya-ku - Osaka
Osaka - Kyoto (day trip so will return back to Osaka)
Osaka to MAYBE kobe for a day trip (so will return back to Osaka)
Osaka - back to Shibuya-ku (tokyo)

I heard that I cant use the fast bullet train to Osaka but the other smaller bullet trains that I can use with the JR pass are just as good.

I am also flying JAL and read on the site I can get the JR pass from them, but how in the world do I do that? Call them?

Hello there,

A JR Pass would be worth considering for your trip. As a rule of thump, the cost of a 7 day JR Pass is about the same as a return ticket Tokyo - Kansai using the Shinkansen bullet trains. Kansai is the area in where Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Kobe are located.

A JR Pass starts paying off with any additional travel, even one way Tokyo - Narita Airport would help you make savings and any additional travel just ads to this.

The JR Pass covers the bullet train from Tokyo - Osaka but not the fastest Nozomi service. You can take the Hikari instead, which makes a couple more stops on the way. The difference in travel time is around 19minutes only.

We are not related to JAL but you can place an order with us online here.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
