Hey, need some advice.

This came up while I was booking — specifically about how do I purchase a Japan Rail Pass and is it worthwhile for a two‑week iti... — and now I'm second-guessing myself.

Thanks in advance!

Buy the pass online from an authorized agent before you arrive; you’ll receive an exchange order to trade for the actual pass at any major JR station. For a trip covering Tokyo‑Kyoto‑Osaka‑Hiroshima plus some day trips, the 7‑day pass often saves money compared to individual tickets.
