My partner and I are doing a trip around Japan in October. Dates are below.
From what I can ascertain purchasing the JRP (7days) is potentially not worth it as our two longest trips happen 8 days apart.
We are trying to utilize other deals in the areas we are traveling too (knowing that we will have to purchase single tickets here and there).
If you have any recommendations on the most cost effective options that would be enormously helpful!
Thank you
