Does the Japan Rail pass cover buses & subways within cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto & Nara pls ?It only covers JR trains (and local JR buses, which are very few in number). In Tokyo, there are a few useful urban JR trains, especially the JR Yamanote Line, which gets you to many of the places of interest. Subways and other non-JR trains, however, are not covered: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2017.htmlOsaka also has a somewhat useful urban JR network, especially the JR Osaka Loop Line. But again, subways and buses are not covered: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e4006.htmlIn Kyoto, JR trains are not useful. The much more useful subway and buses are not covered: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2363.htmlIn most other cities, JR trains are not very useful for urban transportation, either.
