7-Day JR Pass Adventure: Tokyo, Kanazawa, Kyoto, Hiroshima & Osaka by Bullet Train
✨ Highlights
A week that squeezes every yen out of a 7-day JR Pass: five cities, four bullet-train legs, and the trains themselves as part of the fun — ekiben lunch boxes, Mt. Fuji from the window, the Hokuriku line through the mountains. A local guide meets you in each city, seats are reserved in advance, and luggage is forwarded so you walk onto every platform with a day bag.
