Hi, I'm going to Japan on a Student Visa for 6 months and have some friends coming to visit over Christmas, we were thinking about getting the JRpass as we were planning on travelling around those two weeks, is it possible for me to still get the JRpass or is there another one I should use instead?
Thanks!
