thanks for your help sds! that sounds like a pretty full-on itinerary but seems like a great option to see plenty of japan. quite certain we'll be gettin the 2 week pass. based on wat most people have told me it seems the way to go. has anyone got a rough idea of how long it would take from osaka to kagoshima or nagasaki?

yeh thats wat others have told me aswell. is hiroshima worth 3days??another day on the slopes sounds good, i mite do that instead

thanks creek boy. yeh 1 week does seem quite short. this is my proposed itinerary if i was to buy the 2 week pass: 3days osaka 2days hiroshima 3days kyoto 3days tokyo 4days hakuba/nagano hows that sounding in terms of getting my money's worth of travel? would u guys recommend spending more/less time in any of these places, or going to other places?

hey guys my brother and i have booked a 16 day trip with return flights to osaka. just after some general advice on how to plan the trip exactly. we plan on snowboarding for about 5 days in Hakuba and travelling n doing touristy things for the rest. i understand that a JR ticket is gonna cost me about AUD$550 for 2 weeks which seems a lot of money (a little less than wat we paid for flights!), particularly if we will be staying in hakuba for 5 days and wont be using the pass that much. my question is: is it worth buying the 2 week pass or should we only buy a 1 week and then pay for the r
