The JR Pass is a special pass available only to those entering Japan on a tourist visa. It allows for unlimited travel around Japan on JR lines usually at a price much less than purchasing individual tickets.
Japan Travel Centre did an excellent job and really helped us get the most from the cities as well as visiting the Alps by bus. The accommodation was all very good. Sandy was very patient and responsive to our many questions and changes until we finalised the ideal trip and it was certainly worth it.
A special mention must be made about the food we absolutely loved it
