What's the best way to get around Japan for two weeks?
Hi!
Wish someone had told me this before I left.
Would love to hear your thoughts.

A 14-day Japan Rail Pass covers most Shinkansen routes and regional trains, which can save you hundreds of dollars if your itinerary includes multiple cities. Rent a Suica or ICOCA card for local metro and bus travel in cities like Tokyo and Osaka. Book overnight sleeper trains if you want to save on accommodation and travel time.
