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.
It is much more easier to get around than I expected with many signs in both Japanese and English. The temples were stunning, people happy and kind, willing to try and help you if you look lost!!! It was an amazing experience, and the advice and planning that Sandy from the Japan Travel Centre was invaluable. Thank you so much
