Hi! I‘d like to ask for your advice on whether to get a JR Pass or buy individual Shinkansen tickets. It‘s mainly about the flexibility. When I went to Japan in 2023 the JR Pass was a lot cheaper and I loved how you could just decide which train to take on the same day because you didn’t have to get a specific ticket. I‘m visiting Japan again next year and now that the pass is so much more expensive I‘m thinking about buying tickets for each train. I don‘t want to plan every single train in advance though, I‘d rather decide maybe a day before or buy the ticket the same day. If I do that, would ticket prices be a lot higher compared to buying them weeks in advance? In that case I‘m thinking of just getting a pass instead… Hope somebody can help, thanks in advance!
