7 day or 14 day rail pass... We aren't sure!

Hi there,

For a 7 and 14 day rail pass to be worthwhile you will need to spend over ¥28,300 and ¥45,100 respectively. Lets take a look at your JR travel costs:

1. Narita airport terminal 1 > Tokyo: ¥3140, (62mins, 79km)
2. Tokyo > Odawara: ¥3840, (35mins, 83km)
3. Odawara > Kyoto: ¥11950, (160mins, 429km)
4. Kyoto > Osaka: ¥1880, (27mins, 42km)
5. Osaka > Hiroshima: ¥10150, (108mins, 345km)
6. Hiroshima > Maihama: ¥18250, (327mins, 906km)
7. Maihama > Narita airport terminal 1: ¥1110, (82mins, 70km)

TOTAL: ¥50320 for 7 legs

As you can see, whichever type you choose (7 or 14 day) you stand to make savings with a rail pass.

Looking at the breakdown of costs I can see that the majority of the costs in your travel do happen between Day 5 and Day 12. If you can squeeze your long distance travel to fit within Days 5-11, or 6-12 you would be able to use a 7 day pass and make even better savings!

If you go for the 7 day pass and are arriving into Narita, you should take a look at the [Narita Express/Suica Metro card deal], or the [Tokyo Metro 2 day travel pass + Keisei Skyliner deals] to save you money on your travel from/to the airport and around Tokyo.

Hope this helps!

That does help, thank you very much!
