After a bit of research, I realised that using the rail pass whilst in Tokyo would be a waste of money so I decided to go for just the 7-day version.
It costs ¥28,300 and I was billed £210 for it - a real bargain given the amount of travelling I'll be doing during the 2nd week! Buying individual tickets would cost me twice as much so buying the rail pass was a no-brainner really.

Some of you will know that for a long, long time I’ve been wanting to go to Japan. Well, after a few false starts, this much awaited journey is finally happening!
This will be my first trip outside Europe so, despite considering myself a seasoned traveller, it is not without some trepidation that I embark on this personal adventure.
Having said that, the excitement and curiosity more than compensate for any misgivings…
Anyway, and also for the benefit of those without anything better to do, I’ll be documenting my goings-on during the next 2 weeks. Hope you’ll enjoy it as much as I surely will!
