Hi,
I will be making a solo trip to Japan, mainly to look Japanese kilns and potteries. Which cities are the best and how do I travel to these places using JR Pass. Time is not a huge factor, and I plan to stay at little towns along the way just to get to know Japan a little better.
I also hope to spend some good time in Kyoto. Would appreciate much for any tips or suggestions a to how best travel round Japan using the rail system. I don't speak or read Japanese.
Thanks.
