Train
Post Wedding Travel
After the wedding, Yoshi and Kevin will be traveling around Japan by rail with anyone who would like to join us! We will be traveling for about 1 week after the wedding and you are welcome to join for 1 day or the entire week. We will be purchasing the 1 week JR Rail Pass, which is a ticket for unlimited train rides throughout Japan (including shinkansen, the high speed rail system) available to visitors. You can purchase a JR Rail Pass. Make sure the start date incorporates your travel to Kobe for the wedding. Of note, JR Rail Pass is going to increase its prices starting October 2023, so we recommend purchasing the tickets (which are valid for 3 months after purchase) prior to this price hike! (Details here: https://www.japan-guide.com/news/japan-rail-pass-cost-increase.html) Our tentative itinerary is as follows: Kobe -> Kyoto (2-3 days) -> Hakone (1-2 days) -> Tokyo
