Hi, I’m flying to Japan in a few days and I’m trying to figure out my transport situation and I’m a bit overwhelmed.

I’m travelling with people who already bought a JR Pass, but I had doubts about it from the beginning. I’ve also read quite a lot of posts here about the JR Pass being not worth it anymore, but I still feel a bit lost and would really appreciate some advice.

My main routes plan:

**July 2:** Narita Airport → Tokyo (probably Narita Express?)
**July 4:** 1 day trip to Nikko
**July 7:** Tokyo → Kyoto
**July 9:** 1 day trip from Kyoto to Nara
**July 10:** 1 day trip from Kyoto to Miyajimaguchi (this can be optional for me)
**July 13:** Kyoto → Tokyo
**July 15:** Tokyo → Narita Airport

And beside these I’m also going to use local transport obviously. I already added Suica to my Apple Wallet

My questions are:
\- Will buying individual tickets be cheaper with this itinerary?
\- Should I buy any local/day passes for Tokyo or Kyoto, or is Suica enough?
\- What is the easiest way to buy the tickets? I would prefer e-tickets/online booking.

Also, since the people I’m travelling with have JR Passes, it would be convenient if I could take the same trains as them, but I don’t want to pay extra for the pass if it doesn’t make sense.

Hi!

What cases are using for your Soundcore Space One Pro?

I know there is the original travel case, but it seems to mainly protect the earcups and not really the whole headphone (especially the headband). My headphones are white, so I’m even more concerned about keeping the headband clean 😅

And is the original travel case actually as bad as people say? Is there maybe any case that fits the Space One Pro and protects the entire headphones while they are folded?

Also, I have a question about the folding mechanism. My intuition tells me that folding them in the way they are designed to fold might speed up the peeling/cracking of the faux leather on the ear pads. Am I overthinking this or does it actually make sense? Would it be better to transport them in a regular full-size headphone case without folding them?
