Need your expert advice 2015/2/7 08:26
Hi everyone, my partner and I will be visiting AWESOME Japan in June this year.

Being our first trip, we would like to find out from you experts if its worth getting a JR rail pass for the following itinerary. And also get your suggestions on my plan.

7 June - Arrive Tokyo
8- Tokyo to Yokohama
9- Yokohama
10- Yokohama
11- Yokohama to Hakone (day trip) to Kyoto
12- Kyoto
13- Kyoto to Nara (day trip)
14- Kyoto to Hiroshima
15- Hiroshima to Yokohama
16- Yokohama
17- Yokohama
18- Yokohama to Tokyo
19- Tokyo
20- Leave Tokyo

As you can see, we'll be spending quite a few days in Yokohama. I need to spend the 9,10,16&17 in Yokohama due to business.

What do you think? Any suggestions for the improvement of my itinerary?


Thanks in advance everyone!

Since you will go from Yokohama to Hiroshima and back within 7 days, you should definitely get a 7-day JR Pass.

Use www.hyperdia.com; think in YEN
Uncheck Nozomi box, and Private Railway box.
Put in your planned trips, and if the cost is less than the cost of a Pass then yes, buy the Pass.
I would actually consider a 14 day Pass, for the convenience, if you are flying in and out of Narita (maybe not so cost effective if its Haneda).
From Yokohama you will be doing some day tripping?
eg into Tokyo/ Kamakura/Nikko??
If so then again the 14 day pass may be a good idea.
If not, then yes, the 7 day pass for down to Kyoto/Hiroshima and back.
Enjoy!
