Osaka-Kyoto-Gora Hakone-Shinjuku 2017/10/28 15:29
Hi!
Would appreciate some help in my travel arrangements.
We are a family of 4 - 3 adults and a kid (10 years). Will be arriving in Osaka for 4 nights then to 2 nights in Kyoto, 2 nights in Gora Hakone, 4 nights in Tokyo and off to Narita airport. Really need help in sorting out the trains fares was wondering if there are any package deals or passes that could help save some money.

Thank you in advance

Without knowing your travels on each of the days. It is impossible to answer.

But as a standard rule of thumb. Since you are not doing a return trip Kansai to Tokyo and back, a seven day rail pass will not be useful.

Best to get daily local/regional passes depending on the amounts you will travel.

Use shinkansen paid separately for you travel between Kyoto and Odawara, (your access point in Hakone).

Kansai pass options are explained within this website and JR West and many various private railway websites.

For Hakone, the Odakyu Railway website has a pass called Hakone Free Pass for two or three days.

And the Kanto/Tokyo area has pass options explained within this website and JR East and many various private railway and subway websites.

Thank you Kakata for your help on this. Would you recommend getting Iocca card or Suica or Pasmo card? Do I have to get them online and have it registered? Do children pay a lower fee when using public transport?

IC cards are cheaper buying them while in Japan.

Child pay 50% of fare depending on ages. Ages are 6-11, but varies slightly between railways. 0-5 normally free.
