My friends and I got a bullet train pass so that we could travel to multiple cities without buying tickets everywhere. It was convenient to have but I wish we had more time to use it. The first night we were there we took a bullet train to Tokyo and overnighted there. Our ship was docked in Kobe (4 hours away) so the 2nd night we came back to the ship and overnighted there. Day 3 and 4 was spent with my homestay family in Osaka. And the last day we got back on the bullet train and went to Hiroshima. The transportation system in Japan is very impressive. Every train, subway, and port liner is precisly on time and leaves on time to the minute. There's no trash, there's no rushing, the people are patient, and subways are packed to maximum capacity (plus 12 more) but still no one complains or shoves their way in. I was very impressed by the people in Japan--SO well behaved.
