Visiting Japan for 18 days

Hi Nicolas,

Nice to make your acquaintance online as well :)

It would very much depend on where you want to travel in Japan? With 18 days in Japan it kinda feels silly to buy a 21-day pass, though I can think of scenario's where this would be beneficial.

To give you a bit of starting advice, I'd go for the 14-day JR Pass and use it to travel between different cities. Then either at the start or end of your travel stay in the city, like Tokyo, and buy normal tickets for local travel.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
