Rail pass
We got our Japan Rail Passes yesterday at the Japan Travel Bureau inside the Mitsuwa store in Arlington Heights. It took a half hour to process and cost $488 for a one week pass in "green" cars. That means reserved seats and a little more comfy. It's nice for the longer trips and you will always have a seat. We'll use it primarily on the Shinkansen going from Anjo to Tokyo to Nagano to Kanazawa or Toyama. Not sure yet of the exact itinerary but wherever we end up, I look forward to seeing the amazing colors of the leaves turning. We'll for sure be riding through some mountainous areas that are gorgeous at any time of the year.
