Is the JR Pass worth it?

Add each one-way Shinkansen ride you plan. We compare the total with the nationwide JR Pass.

Fares are one-way, adult, regular season. With the JR Pass, Nozomi and Mizuho trains need an extra "special ticket": Tokyo–Shin-Osaka ¥4,960, Tokyo–Hiroshima ¥6,500, Shin-Osaka–Hakata ¥4,960. Hikari and Kodama need no supplement.
