My question is..
I am going to buy the 7 day JR Pass.
currently planning the transportation/routes from one place to another.
I was wondering which route I will be using the Shinkansen instead of the other trains?
from what I have found.. I will be using the shinkansen twice on this journey:
1. tokyo to nagano = hokuriku shinkansen
2. nagoya to kyoto = tokaido shinkansen
Other than that, I will be using mostly trains that are covered by JR Pass.
In that case, is it safe to say that it will be worth it buying the 7 days JR pass?
Thank you
