Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the JR Pass?
The JR Pass price increased significantly in 2023. It's often cheaper now to buy individual Shinkansen tickets unless you are traveling long distances every day.
Is it difficult to travel without speaking Japanese?
Not in major cities. Signs are in English, and Google Translate (camera feature) is a lifesaver for menus.
