JRP or something else? 2016/10/7 04:47
Hello

We are currently planning our 12day trip to Japan consisting of:

D0: Flight to Tokyo
D1: Asakusa / Skytree/ Ryogoku Kokugikan
D2: Akihabara
D3: Ghibli Museum / Shinjuku / Shibuya
D4: Fishmarket/ Tokyo Tower/ Roppongi/ Imperial Palace/ Ueno Park&Zoo
D5: Travel to Kyoto and visit Shrines & Temples (stay there)
D6: Arashiyama
D7: Osaka Shopping (Shinsai/ Dotonbori/ Namba/ Kuramon)
D8: Osaka Aquarium/ Skybuilding/ Osaka Castle/ Shopping&Eating)
D9: Travel back to Tokyo and spend day freely
D10: Odaiba Island
D11: Fly back

My question is now, is 7d-JRP still worth it? Considering we could use it from Day3-9? Or would you suggest something else which is fast enough in order not to lose too much time? Also would appreciate some itinerary improvement suggestions.

Thank you
- Kai

A 7-day JR Pass will come close to paying off with a round trip between Tokyo and the Kansai area, but will not fully pay off. Consider the discount shinkansen vouchers available from Japanican (Google it).

If you use it for days 5-11, you can use it for the Narita Express, if leaving from there, and then it should pay off.

Get the discount shinkansen tickets and by daily passes for the other travels.

I looked on japanican.com for bullet train specials and I am wondering if they have discounts for trains from Osaka to Nagasaki?

No, Japanican deals only in the more popular tourist routes.
