Help! Is JR Pass Worth it for my itinerary?
Hey y’all! I’ll be visiting Japan soon and wanted opinions on if getting a JR pass is worth it. Here’s a rough outline.
Day 1 – Arrive to Narita Airport at 6:00am, early check-in to hotel near Shibuya, then explore Shibuya area, Harajuku, and Shimokitazawa
Day 2 – Tokyo Disney
Day 3 & 4 – Explore Tokyo day (we are still planning for these days, but know we are hitting up TeamLab Planets and Tokyo Tower)
Day 5 – traveling from Tokyo -> Osaka -> hotel (near Dotonbori) -> Osaka Castle -> Dotonbori (night time)
Day 6 – day trip from Osaka -> Nara, mainly to visit the deer park
Day 7 – day trip from Osaka -> Kyoto (still planning this, but definitely want to see the Fushimi Inari Shrine)
Day 8 – Flight from Osaka -> Philippines
I want advice on if the JR Pass is still worth it for all the train fares + the one-way bullet train from Tokyo to Osaka, or if we’re better off just buying the one-way ticket and paying the other fares as we go with no JR Pass.
Also, can you purchase a JR Pass in Japan?
I appreciate any help/advice! Thanks!
