Hello senpais!
I need help regarding on the JR pass..
I checked quite a few of information online and I am not really clear about it still.
If I get a 7 days JR pass, which means I can take all public transport under JR's company which include of city buses and train right? But is it convenient?
I need some suggestion about my current plan which one would be cheaper?
I will be in Japan for 2 weeks. Planning to travel from Osaka > Tokyo > Kyoto > Osaka.
Planning to go to Mount Fuji too.
= PLAN 1 =
Buy a 7 day JR pass travel from Osaka > Tokyo > Kyoto > Osaka. Cost me about RM1,100?
= PLAN 2 =
Buy night buses travel from Osaka > Tokyo about 7hours so I could save up my stay as well. From Tokyo > Kyoto about 6hours?
Total fare about RM500? Somemore I save my stay for 1 night. But I will need to pay more on public transport in the city but I will get a Icoca in Osaka & Kyoto, Suica in Tokyo. Should be cheap right?
If I were to buy my travel tickets online anyone have nice websites to intro where they gives discount.
Tight on budget T_T Malaysia ringgit is weak af..
Hi,
In Japan, train mainly can classify into JR Train, Subway and private railway.
Based on my study, Subway have closer station compare to JR.
Example: Attraction A ------- subway 2 min from station, JR 10 min from station
JR rail pass is only cover JR train, JR Bus and Shinkasen...
From osaka to tokyo by shinkasen is cover by JR rail pass (Kodama & Hikari but not Nozomi)
For my case (visit japan on april 2017), I am planing to get 7 day JR pass..
The reason I buy JR pass is because i travel both way from tokyo-osaka (one way shinkasen around RM 550)..
Also, I will go kyoto (by kansai express train), odawara by shinkasen from tokyo (go to hakone), Narita express train to tokyo from airport...
By the way, besides JR pass, i also need to pay some another transport fees at kyoto bus, hakone free pass (4000yen)....
The pass only cover 7 days, I stay in japan for 8 day, then the last day in tokyo probably will buy a metro pass (subway)...
