July in Japan

Hi Philip,

The most expensive route is Tokyo - Osaka and travels back to Tokyo. At the very least you should include this in your 7 day JR Pass.

From there, any additional travel you include is a good bonus and will only add to the effectiveness of the JR Pass. For instance, a side trip from Osaka to Nara is nice to include. You could also head all the way to Hiroshima if you feel adventurous.

Fuji needs a bit of planning to get to, you can find the details here:

Hope this helps,
