Hi everyone,
I am going to japan this week end with my friends, but still not sure of which transportation to choose. JR pass or others (we have tight budget)
PLease need you advice on transportation which will be better to save our cost.
Hello, Arya!
So glad you're visiting Japan! You're going to absolutely love it!
Regarding your transportation issue, it sounds like your plan is way cheaper and WAY more flexible! The JR Rail Pass is good for very long-distance travel, but all your connections are short, cheap and on private lines not covered by the JR umbrella company. So if your longest connection (Nozomi Shinkansen, Tokaido Line from Nagoya to Tokyo, OW 10,800 yen -give or take a few hundred yen) isn't even covered, then why bother?
I personally have never used the JR Rail Pass. I'm always told by local JTB agents that local passes give the better deals.
Here are the JR Rail-Pass-covered fares I looked up for you:
- All fares ONE WAY for ONE PASSENGER unless otherwise noted.
Tokyo-Kamakura (Yokosuka Line): 890 yen. Round Trip: 1780 yen
Tokyo Stn- Haneda Airport Terminal, via Monorail: 620 yen
Kyoto -Nagoya Highway Bus (2.5 hr trip): 2500 yen
Hope this helps you out! :-) Looks like you're really good at doing your travel homework!
I'm somewhat familiar with Tokyo and Kyoto so if you have any questions about those areas, feel free to ask me anytime.
Good luck and happy travels!

Hi Genkilee,
thank you for the feedback. really appreciate it.
I also do comparison on my budget vs with JR + nozomi, my calculation still less expensive.
