Thanks for sharing this interesting and informative video about Japan rail pass secrets. We enjoyed being part of his tour. Like number one.
I am planning to travel to Tokyo Sapporo, Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, Fukuoka and return to Toyo. Do you think the 21 day JR pass would be worth it?
I am covering tokyo, nikko, lake ashi, nagoya, shirakawa-go, kyoto in 12 days, which pass shall I take or what is my best choice?
Having travelled on rail passes quite a bit, usually I stay more than three weeks. A combination of several passes can be useful and cost savings, plus some trips on branch lines by using an IC card. Recently I explored Kyushu and the pass paid off well. The key is planning
For Shinkansen, I never reserve, as there is always plenty of space in cars 1-3 and it gives me flexibility.
Fantastic! My wife and I have been using the full JR Pass for 15-25 day trips to Japan for years, maximizing its value with frequent Shinkansen and Limited Express rides across the country.
