Tasty planet back for seconds ending3/27/2023 You’ll receive an exchange order in the mail that you then exchange for the pass in Japan. You need to book Japan Rail Passes in advance before you arrive in Japan. If the cost is close, get the pass as it’s much easier being able to hop on and off trains when you like and not worry about purchasing tickets. You can use the Navitime website to find train times and costs and compare these to the cost of a pass. We saved $150 per person for this itinerary! Trains are the best way to get around Japan and we travelled with a 7 day Japan Rail Pass.Īlthough the passes seem expensive (a 7 day pass is $214) they will usually save you money if you are travelling to many places, especially if you take the fast bullet trains (which are one of the best things to do in Japan). This map shows our 2 week Japan itinerary with blue markers and other potential destinations to consider with red markers. That said, we don’t regret our itinerary as we had an amazing time and loved everywhere we visited. The week travelling with a rail pass was especially exhausting and we could easily have added an extra night (or two) to everywhere we visited. At the end of this post I have included other suggested destinations if you decide to get a 14 Day Rail Pass for your two weeks in Japan and add more places to your itinerary and reduce the time spent in Tokyo or Kyoto.Īs Japan is expensive and there is so much to do, we moved at a much quicker pace than usual. There are so many amazing places to visit in Japan. See my detailed guide to the best things to do in Kyoto for lots of tips. We spent over three weeks in Kyoto on our first trip so we didn’t visit this time, but if you are new to Japan, I highly recommend substituting the second Tokyo stay with Kyoto as it really is a must-see. Our Japan itinerary included five nights in Tokyo, six nights travelling with a 7 Day Japan Rail Pass, and ended with five more nights in Tokyo. Our trip was at the end of September until mid-October and was actually for 16 nights, but you could easily cut this down to 14 days in Japan by spending less time in Tokyo. Tokyo – 5 nights (I recommend Kyoto instead for most people).Kanazawa – 2 nights (stay at Smile Hotel Kanazawa).
