      I think Iโ€™m going to go in January or February. I really wanted to go this November but itโ€™s just coming up too soon. I hope thereโ€™s some pretty snow this winter and itโ€™s not too cold

      I'm definitely going to have to watch this because the Suica cart that I have still has a balance on it because I knew I was coming back, and I absolutely loved my JR pass. Thank you for sharing this information.

      I took the Nozomi Shinkansen from Tokyo to Osaka and back in December using the JR pass, it's a bummer that's not covered anymore. ๐Ÿ™ Finding a place to stay for this upcoming October has been much harder this year understandably. It's nice to see things are heading back to normal for Japan, I'm looking forward to seeing peoples faces this time around!

      I'm spending Christmas and New Year's in Japan (for the fourth time). We are all set with airline tickets and hotel reservations. Nagoya, Hiroshima/Miyajima, Kansai (Kyoto, Osaka, Nara), and Tokyo on this adventure.

      Still buying a pass because the cost of it when it goes up still covers the cost for a roundtrip from Tokyo to Kyoto and from Tokyo to Osaka. Plus the added benefits of round trips to Haneda airport, as well as the 3 -4 local trains that I know we are going to use frequently, it still benefits us, cuz it'll save us about 100$.

      We're planning a trip to Tokyo and have hotel reservations in October. We've double checked and the reservations are still standing. Should we double check again 30 days out?

      The new JR pass prices will definitely calm down the system ๐Ÿ˜… think it will be better , a much more enjoyable experience if less people use it , I didn't realise how short staffed the hotels were ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

      I thankfully booked my rooms for October way back in February, so bullet dodged (I guess). The super El Niรฑo is definitely the villain in this story, so packing a rain coat may not be such a bad idea.

      The JR pass cost increase is far too significant to simply be a readjustment due to the uptick in tourism, but we could spend days discussing conspiracy theories, so no. If you're planning on buying it, it's literally now or never, since if you wait until after the increase; unless you plan to spend most of your time in the country just moving around, it won't cover its own cost.

      Thanks Harb, and cheers to all!

      I will be traveling to Japan this November. Hopefully I can locked in the current JR price and still be usable in November before price increase.

      Hello you re very good. Itโ€™s a great help for us for your suggestion of taking regional jr passes. Thank you so much. You explain very well.

      Almost every hotel review on Agoda says the rooms are not cleaned, very dusty (even a clock is dusty), no housekeeping for days & amenities are at the front desk where guests have to take the items themselves, air-conditioning not working. So don't expect the air-ducts or air-conditioning filters to be cleaned either (since 2019 or perhaps even further back).
