Does JR Pass make sense or should we just do it for 7 or 14 days

Hi there,

For your multi-region itinerary, a 21-day Nationwide JR Pass is strongly recommended. It covers all your major Shinkansen and long-distance routes, making your journeys seamless and hassle-free. Please note that you will still need to make a seat reservation for the Shinkansen.

Kind Regards,

Ok - thank you I was wondering since we are spending lot of time in the alps and not needing many trains there if it still made sense for the entire time to have the JR pass? Or is it more of an issue of convenience rather than cost?

Hi,

While you could choose a complex strategy combining individual tickets, regional passes and a 14-day Nationwide JR Pass, the single 21-day Nationwide JR Pass offers the most straightforward travel solution. Because the price difference between the 14-day and 21-day passes is only JPY 20,000, the 21-day pass offers superior convenience and simplicity for your extended trip.

Kind Regards,

Mariko
