Trip to Osaka, Tokyo

[snap99]

Im thinking of getting the 7 days JR pass, and was wondering if this itinerary for the first 7 days will be feasible.

Day 1: Travel from Toyko to Osaka.
Day 2, 3: Osaka (including USJ)
Day 4: Day trip to Kyoto
Day 5: Day trip to Kyoto
Day 6: Nara
Day 7: Travel back to Toyko.

Wanted to add in Hiroshima but doesnt fit into the 7 days pass le. Also thinking of just staying at a single location (Osaka) for convenience.

Why don’t you stay in Kyoto ?

IOS users can’t download Hyperdia on SG App Store unless U hv US acc. Just use Hyperdia website instead. There are many other good alternatives like the official Japan Tourism app. Google Map is an excellent alternative.

Gixxerfield had done all the math for you. However it'd be good if you can do the math yourself in case you are interested in knowing how much it takes to travel from place A to B, or if you have more places to go and not sure if a JRP or a kansai thru pass would be worth it. Get yourself familiarised with Hyperdia. It's a very useful tool to calculate the cost of the various train rides in Japan.

For budget stay, you can consider red roof plus osaka namba. Excellent location: above namba underground shopping street, walking distance to Dotombori and Kuromon Ichiba Market. You are surrounded by food and shopping!

I think Swissotel is most convenient and more luxurious. Hotel Ichiei has nice tatami rooms.

Can reupload it or into dropbox or something? It is asking to verify credentials and should not be that way.
