There’s a lot of train transfers so I am considering to buy JR Pass. I also have my hotels situated near the stations so it would be convenient.
This is my first international travel. I only had local travels and imho, 3D2N is roughly enough for me to explore city highlights.
What do you guys think? Is it too much or not? I want to explore as much as I can, especially nature/art museums/shopping haha. Your thoughts will be much appreciated!
