Which JR Pass / Is JR pass necessary

Hi there,

I really can't say without knowing what trips you will be doing by rail and what routes you will travel. We have a useful tool that you can use for this called the JR Fare calculator. Where you can input your travels and it will tell you how much you can save.

I think a 14-day JR Pass could be useful here, but that is if you travel by rail. It may not be that much use, if you plan on getting a car.

Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi Danial,

Thank you for your answer !

We would like to do the first part exclusively by rail :

Tokyo - Kanazawa - Takayama - Narai-juku - Kyoto - Nara

Does the national JR pass cover all these places? Or would be better to use Regional JR pass ?

Also, could you confirm that the national JR pass includes all the green and blue lines on the map of the JR Fare calculator ?

I hope to be more precise this time :)

Thanks again,
Réjane
