17 days in Japan/jr rail pass

Hi Laurie,

The following parts are not:

1.) Kyoto - Katsura, Katsura is not a JR station. You can travel from Kyoto station to Nara using the JR Pass.

2.) Keisei Skyline, this is a private railway. You can use the Narita Express instead with the JR Pass.

A 7 day JR Pass would be a good option if you would return to Kyoto before it expires, otherwise I would go for normal rail tickets.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
