The end of the rail pass

We’ve landed back in Tokyo after our week long adventure. God, I’m exhausted. We made almost all of our planned stops. There were some things that we decided not to do for various reasons and some things that we added in last minute which provided extra value. For example, we added Kobe to our list of destinations. I will elaborate later on what we did there, but hey–it’s pretty obvious. :p

All things considered, if we didn’t have the Japan Rail Pass and actually paid for each individual train ticket the cost would have gone way past $1000. Tonight, when we got our last Shinkansen tickets from Shin-Kobe to Tokyo station, the clerk stamped our pass to say that the period has ended. As soon as he did I let out a big sigh. I was so sad to see it go.

Well, I still have to write about Osaka, Beppu, Hiroshima and Kobe. And there’s the matter of how I’m going to spend my last three days in Tokyo. I really want to just take a break, but I feel like I need to fit more value in. Oh man! Need to push harder!
