on my last trip to japan, i bought a J.R rail pass on the way to the airport. $276 for unlimited access to pretty much any train in japan. it was a great buy because i used almost triple of the cost.
there is a HIS travel agency right in the front of Don Quijote in town. it’s pretty easy to find, and pretty easy to buy.
just walk in the door and you will be greeted by the HIS lovely staff.
HIS is a japanese company so you can expect professional quality service.
10 minutes later, i was walking out with my unlimited japan rail pass. i got the 1 week pass but they also sell 2 or 3 week passes too. just take your passport and you can get one. something you won’t regret.
and go see Mika-san. she speaks perfect english and is very nice.
i logged my last trip and kind of freaked out after looking at all the places i went too in that short time. 8 hours to osaka, 7 hours back to hawaii.
this looks like a railway system in japan. but this is actually my tracks. airplane, car rides, taxi’s, ferries, and a lot of walking too. i still can’t believe i traveled that much in that 9 days. and if you asked me which was my favorite part, my answer would be “all.”
this time, we are more focused on west japan. no trains, just lots of car rides, long car rides.
