Yay! You decided to travel Japan!
And decided where to go, like Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima....
But do you know Shinkansen is not cheap?
Normally, the Shinkansen fare of both ways from Tokyo to Kyoto is about ¥28,000.
In addition, if you are planning to travel other places, the train charge will be huge sum of money.
Furthermore, buying a ticket each time you ride on train is going to bother you..

As you can see in the table, it is only ¥29,110 for an adult for free JR train pass all over Japan.
The 'Green Pass' entitles you to travel in the 'Green Car', the equivalent of our 1st class, on all Shinkansens and certain fast lines.
If you always travel with business/first class, you will like quiet green car.
But except that case, ordinary pass will do;)
