Japan 2020
Photos from my rail pass tour of Japan in January 2020 when I visited Osaka, Kobe, Hiroshima, Nagoya, Matsumoto, Sendai, Sapporo, Tokyo, and Mount Fuji.

This was my third trip to Japan, so I got a 7-day rail pass to visit locations I’d previously missed. That was all I had planned.
Once I activated the pass, I toured based on the direction I was heading and what cities looked prominent on the map. Most days I didn’t know where I’d be the next. Everything worked out.
All in all, I visited Osaka, Kobe, Hiroshima, Nagoya, Matsumoto, Sendai, Sapporo, Tokyo, Mount Fuji, and returned to Osaka. The trip was fast and tiring, but incredibly freeing. Not knowing where I was going helped me appreciate where I was.
