Hello SighSee.
Me and a +1 plan to go touring across Japan over a minimum 2 week long trip. We plan to take the bullet train multiple times across the whole length of the island to various places and stops.
I tried looking up different prices, guides and value packs but most sites are cryptic at best. A pass that would allow us to take the shinkansen anywhere at any time over the two week period would be ideal.
Is anyone experienced with the train and it's tickets? What is the best value I can get out of which ticket?

(inb4 /wsr/, already did, but I figured you guys would know more about this kind of stuff)

>Is anyone experienced with the train and it's tickets?
yes, everyone in the Japan general thread where this should've been poated
mean
If anything, I mercy-killed some travel-blog thread
whassa matta? gonna cry? gonna cry because someone made you read the thread? gonna tell teacher?
I'm gonna tattle to the janny and he'll use all his income to track you down and make you read the Japan general.
The other anon isn't wrong, this is all literally stickied on the Japan General.
But, I'll be nice.
>A pass that would allow us to take the shinkansen anywhere at any time over the two week period would be ideal.
The JR 14 day pass. A very basic Google search would immediately tell you this, also.
If you use more than 4-5 shinkansens it is worth it. There's even a calculator you can figure out if it's cheaper to go without the pass.
It's only available to foreigners and you usually have to buy a voucher for one before you arrive in Japan.
You can use it for any JR rails. This does NOT include subways, metros, private rails.
But those are really cheap.
Get a Suica card for anywhere not covered by JR pass.
The JR pass is mostly used for shinkansen.
Any other questions? Seeing as my beloved travel blog thread is already dead because of you.
here is your song, you weaboo piece of shit
?t=60
god she's so hot
Wtf you are in every japan thread
OP eats dick
There’s a Japan general you nog, but that’s a pretty picture
It's called the Japan Rail Pass, you moron. It's an unlimited train ticket on all JR lines except the fastest speed of the Shinkansen (only selling excess capacity), subsidized by their govt so to spread tourism dollars around the country
They are getting increasing strict about these, Japanese nationals living outside the country now not only have to prove permanent residence outside Japan, but reside over 10+ years, in the future all Japanese citizens may be ineligible for buying one.
Oh shit I was just thinking about this.
If I moved to Japan but kept my 10 year long US passport, could I still buy a JR pass while I'm there?
Was gonna post that to the Japan General, but turns out this thread actually was good for something.
Mods!! Delete now, thank you!

Residents of Japan with foreign passports must show tourist stamp. They're not in the business of giving people a free ride anymore.
