Hi,
I'm traveling to Japan for the first time and am a bit overwhelmed trying to decide whether the JR Pass is right for us, or if it's more economical to buy as we go. Can you give us some advice on whether the pass makes sense for our itinerary since we're flying into Osaka and flying home from Tokyo? Thank you!
