Thank you again for your help yesterday. A question came up last night that made me realize I still have a lot to grasp for our trip!

Would a 7 Day Pass cover this itinerary?

Sept 18 - Tokyo to Kyoto
Sept 20 - Day trip from Kyoto to Osaka
Sept 22 - Day trip from Kyoto to Hiroshima (with a stop in Himeji to visit the castle...can we do this?)
Sept 25 - Kyoto to Tokyo

Is Sept 25th the 7th day of the pass or considered day 8?

Thanks in advance. Much appreciated!

Hi there,

Yes, a JR Pass would cover all these trips. It's also easy to visit Himeji and the castle in a few hours as stopover.

Activating the JR Pass on the 18th would indeed mean that Sept 24th is your last day of validity (or day 8). Consider taking a late train back on the 24th.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hello Daniel,

Thank you for your response.

Follow up question on the day trip to Hiroshima from Kyoto. I've read something recently that suggested that doing a round trip from Kyoto to Hiroshima with a stop in Himeji, in one day, can be a very long and rushed day. Does that sound right?

Thank you, your assistance is much appreciated. As is this forum that allows all of us to bounce ideas and ask all these questions in prepping for our visit to your beautiful country!

My wife, who lived there as a child, and I are looking forward to our visit.

Cheers!
