Hi everyone!
I just spent lots of time researching and planning my summer vacation trip. I hope to attend the main festivals and some places I always dream of visiting I am travelling on a budget and wondering if my plan is ok after factoring in the transportation cost/time. I work in Japan so I can’t use the JR pass for foreign tourists. I will probably have to use the Shikoku Free Kippu (3 consecutive days unlimited usage of JR trains) and the Seishun 18 kippu. Are there any better/cheaper passes? Please provide any advice / feedback! Thanks!
