I’m 29, never left the country. My bucket list is visiting Japan at the very top. I have no idea what you do or if you have to go through travel agencies, how much money you should bring etc

    Wasn’t the JR pass made uneconomical recently, maybe even this month? I haven’t used the pass in a while but back on Reddit I feel like I heard about an incoming 70% or so price increase. Some commenters there indicated it would no longer be worth the price.

    My last visit I paid for all the trains individually and didn’t come anywhere near the $500 or so it would’ve cost for a short two week visit on the new pricing. At the time it wasn’t in place yet, but it should be now. I like to visit just a few cities at a time though, so maybe if you’re trying to pack a lot in the pass may still be worthwhile?
