JR Pass, which is best for 3 week trip?

Question:


I'm heading to osaka on the 14/12/2011 and will be staying in shinsaibashi area for 7 days, after which i will be heading to Tsuyama to stay with my friend on the 21/12 until the 27/12/2011 when we will travel to tokyo for new years.

I can't seem to work out which JR pass (if any) would be best suited for a trip like that? i don't plan to make any day trips to other areas like hiroshima, kyoto etc as i've been before.. any tips or suggestiosn would be greatly appreciated!!

Answer:


You have to figure how how much you will be using the trains..the 3 week pass is a fair chunk of cash and not worth if you are staying in the same city for a week and not traveling around. You might instead look at some regional JR Passes, such as the JR East Pass and JR West Pass. You can get more info at

You also might look at getting an airpass like at

It can save a lot of money for traveling across the country.
