RE: The Pros and Cons of Japan Rail's JR Pass for tourists
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
So others talk about the JR Pass effect, where they feel they have to keep on moving to justify the cost of the ticket. While I enjoy the train rides, there's also plenty to see and do at each destination. I also think that the longer you spend in a place, the better value for money you get.

Yeah, I didnt want to miss out on travelling the Shinkansen, but I think I also got some deal ticket where I could travel to Kyoto and Hiroshima pretty reasonably. As I was visiting a friend in Tokyo anyhow, we spent lots of time there.. its so big and so much going on too!
Would you consider living a few years in Japan? It's not your cheap digital nomad / FIRE destination but out in the countryside, the cost of living isn't terrible and there's plenty to do.
I could spend a couple of years there for sure.
