wuchan wrote:Cheap vacation travel: JR visitor pass. If you are going to have a friend visit have them buy the 21 consecutive days pass for 57,700 Yen. when they go home you keep the pass for the remaining time left on it. Even better, if they don't plan to travel much, pay them for it and pick it up when they leave.

It comes out to having to travel at least 3000 yen worth of train rides per day to get your money's worth, so what I did was make these "day trips" to no where like from Hiroshima to Hakata on the shinkansen for some ramen for lunch, sight-see around, have fresh sea food for dinner, and then take the last train back to Tokyo. I don't ever recommend that grueling leg back. Trust me, it sucked.

Since we're on the topic about the JR pass, I should also mention that you are technically not supposed to ride the Nozomi Expresses and limited only to the slow ass Hikaris and Kodamas. Who rides Hikaris to Kyoto and Osaka?

IkemenTommy wrote: My way of getting around that was to get on the unreserved section, where they rarely check your tickets, but when they do check just pretend you're asleep and most of the time, they'll just go by and not question you. If that fails and they still coerce you to wake up and show the pass--and thank god that has not happened to me yet-- just play stupid, you didn't know because you are a dumb gaijin on your first ever trip to Nippon the beautiful land in the Orient, tell them Gomennasai and some other typical travel book phrases any visiting gaijin would mention in desperation, and that you'll promise to get off at the next Nozomi stop 2 hours later.
