That sounds like a good deal. Is it restricted to JR?
I will finish my teaching contract on March 31st, but won't fly back (to the US) until April 10th, and would love to be able to see a little more of Japan, one last time. I'll have to check into it.
Thanks,craven. |

Hey again
Good luck with the ticket...again, it takes time, but it's super cheap and a really good way to get around, particularly if you are in Kansai with all the shin kaisoku trains running around! I used it to get to Hiroshima a couple of years back, and it was great.
Here's a link:

The tickets can be purchased at any train station ticket office. |

This is actually something I might want to try. Were you the one who used the other JR Rail Pass your Mom had exchanged?
Also, 2 questions:
-does the actul JR Rail Pass have your name on it (the person who exchanges it)?
-do the workers check your passport when you board the train (i.e. shinkansen)? |
