|  Get a JR Japan Rail Pass before leaving for Japan; this lets you use the trains as much as you want! It’s a great deal, and you can even take Shinkansen bullet trains for 29,110 yen (7 days), 46,390 yen (14 days) or 59,350 yen (21days)! It’s much more practical for going shorter distances, and is an excellent way to explore the many sights in Hokuriku!
*Be aware that some bullet trains (such as "Nozomi") cannot be boarded with the pass. Please check the official site for details!
