Hi,
ill be traveling with my wife to japan for a duration of 21 days (2nd of april till the 24th of april), im planning to visit Kyoto (5 nights) & Osaka (5 nights) and then return to toyko before taking my plane to go back to my country.
i was looking at the Bullet train (Shinkansen) bookings, but i havent been able to find a custom way to book the tickets (including seat reservations), as my friends who have visited japan before recommended that i use the JR pass, but i havent been able to fully understand how the JR pass benefits me for traveling between makor cities (however the internal trained are quiet simple to understand), my main questions are:
1- how & where am i able to purchase these tickets?
2- would there be any benefit of purchasing them online, if possible (beforehand of arrival to japan)?
3- are these tickets useful in all 3 major cities?
Thanks & best regards
Abdulrahman.
