Описание: Don't Buy the Japan Rail (JR) Pass! 🛑 We Saved ₹52,000 in Japan 🇯🇵 (2026 Guide)

Is the Japan Rail Pass still worth it after the 70% price hike? 🚄 For our 16-day trip to Japan (Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Kiso), everyone told us to buy the pass. We did the math, and we are glad we didn't!

In this video, we break down our EXACT transport expenses day-by-day. We compare the cost of the 14-Day JR Pass vs. buying individual Shinkansen tickets and using a Suica card. The results? We saved over ₹50,000 as couple!

We also expose the "Hidden Costs" of the JR Pass—like subways, private lines to Mt. Takao & Nara, and highway buses—that the pass does NOT cover.

Cost we incurred:
Airport & Tokyo Local,Narita ⇄ Hotel (Skyliner/Access): 2,380 Yen
Tokyo Subway (72hr + Single): 1,551Yen
Local JR Lines (Yamanote etc.): 680 Yen
Day Trips & Kiso Valley,Mt. Takao & Fuji (Bus/Cable): 6,610 Yen
Tokyo → Kiso → Nagoya (Shinkansen/Bus): 13,470 Yen
Nagoya → Kyoto (Shinkansen): 5,350 Yen
Kyoto Local (Bus, Keihan, Kintetsu): 3,560 Yen
Kyoto → Osaka & Himeji Trip: 4,580 Yen
Osaka Metro Pass (2 Days): 1,600 Yen
Osaka → Tokyo (Nozomi Shinkansen): 13,870 Yen
