Hi there, we are 3 of us (2 seniors over 50 & 1 student) in Japan for 3 weeks! The 3 week pass is sooooo expensive ie USD $659 each for cheapest pass $1977 total!
While I like the idea of the pass would it be easier just to pay as we go? While we might take the bullet train once for experience (and anyway this is not included) we are happy to take the slow road. So far rough itinerary will be flying in and out of Tokyo with travel to Mt Fuji, Osaka, Kyoto, Hiroshima (not necessarily in that order), then Kumano - Kii Peninsula last and then back to Tokyo!
If we paid as we went on slow trains/bus - approximate cost - perhaps we won’t use public transport every day?
Cheers Jane
