JRPass

Thanks m,your a star.
Im waiting on my ticket to arrive tomorrow and then pretty much going to follow your IT.
If i have time i think i will shoot up north though as alot of people really recommend it but only if time wil allow.dont want paying for a ticket from up north down south to catch the ferry lol

As you said though i will make more use of my ticket using your IT.

thanks very much for reading and taking the time..

best wishes

Mari,
how are you.
thanks every so much for your advice and i followed your timetable.
I really loved japan and they are miles ahead of korea with manners and kindness and just about everything.
i travel all over asia this past year (20 countries)and japan is one of my favourites.

i recently posted another question about how much i saved if or when you get time check it out.

thanks once again in advance but just trying to help others who go to:)

hey Mari,

Yeah it was as you said the fact that sometimes i put in one time and did my check and then another time when i was redoing it as was quite a difference.THose early morning trains are costly:)

Yeah m,I started in russia and really have bin to 80 %of asia and actually just missed india and nepal but maybe at the end i will get to them.

I know i rushed Japan a little bit but in time if i get money i think i will come back and hike right up north and visit the 3000 year old tree not to mention some of the islands so a return is a must someday:)
It really was none stop and was just to get the most of of the pass and budget aswell.

You know im only 70% sure the pass covered me to that lake up north as i cant remeber.i know that when i got to the station i had to get a bus for 20 mins after but nearly sure the pass covered me on local train to toya station but i could be wrong:)

also when you did your great work i actually used the tokyo metro and certain lines JR covered it:)

Back in china now heading to tibet.

I know when you seen the places i went to in japan you were thinking did i just pass tru them lol
but well i did the best i could :)
great place.

Does it sound silly to say if i had not have went up north that maybe that would of bin a huge savings like almost 300 Us??return...doesnt matter anyway as even if i didnt i saved lots.

take care
