Traveling Japan by train is one of the fastest, easiest and most efficient ways to get around the country, but it can be a bit pricey if you take the shinkansen (bullet train) without a rail pass of some kind. Although I support the use of public transportation, and, in general, Japan’s system is well worth using, I’ve also found that driving can be a cheaper way to get around, depending on what part of Japan you are in and where you’re going.
