Hello,
I understand the new JR Pass after Oct 2023 prices increased and allows you to use the Nozomi Shinkansen trains but with additional fees. Can you see my itinerary and let me know if it is more cost effective to buy JR Pass and pay additional fees to use Nozomi or cheaper to pay for individual tickets?
Travel dates arrive 5/1/24, depart 5/10/24.
Thank you.
