From Kyoto to Tokyo by Shinkansen are 3 Hour...Bus are around 5 hours depent traffic condition.

If Japan golden holiday season like December......it takes around 7 hours.  The highway usually Jam 25-36 Km long

I am going next April 2012. I just wondering i have to purchase JR pass or not if the places i planned to go are Tokyo, Kyoto, Kobe and Osaka. Worth to have it if i am going to those places?

By the way, 1 day is sufficient to go Disneyland & Disneysea or not?

Thank you very much!! notworthy.gif

How many days will you be there?

For Disney, you'd need to allocate 1 full day for each park.

8D7N. means 2 days for Disneyland & DisneySea?

I would suggest taking the Shinkansen tongue.gif

But if you're on low budget, check out the overnight bus services from Tokyo. Good to sleep over and reach your destination the next morning.

JR pass for 7days is around RM1k right? Worth if compared to the single way by shinkasen to Osaka and Kyoto?

Overnight Bus cannot work on Japan Golden Holiday....Traffic moving quite slow.....next morning also hard to reach destination.

Give you a general idea (exchange rate now 41):

Tokyo-Kyoto (Return bullet train ticket)        = JPY 26,440
Narita Airport-Tokyo (Return express train)  = JPY 5,880
                                                Above total = JPY 32,320
Japan Rail Pass 7 Days ordinary class          =    JPY 28,300, see the difference?
If Golden Week, yes please follow Regentcid's advice. All transportation modes will be very busy, especially land. Though IMHO, one just wasting money visiting during that period, unless you're hardcore weaboo  laugh.gif

Many thanks!! Any places or foods that i cannot miss in Tokyo or othdr cities?
