We used this pass to travel from Tokyo to Kobe via Kanazawa and Fukui. We rode the new Hokuriku Shinkansen multiple times with this pass, which I would not have done if I was to purchase tickets for individual trip due to the cost. I reserved my seats with the pass through the ticketing machines at JR stations, but you can just jump onto trains/shinkansens if they have non-reserved seats. This ticket also allows you to travel on JR lines in Tokyo Metropolitan areas and among major cities in Kansai (which are major sightseeing areas outside Hokuriku area) within the validation period, making it even worth the value. Some places are offering discounted entry fees if you present this pass, so remember to check them out!

I used this Jr Pass for this trip. I went from Tokyo to Osaka and went to Kanazawa, Nagano, Fukui, Kyoto, Nara and other places. It was very convenient and fast to take the Shinkansen.

The itinerary was arranged with plenty of time for free activities. The lunch was special. Although the tour guide gave detailed explanations in Japanese, he was accompanied by a translator and translated into English immediately. I felt satisfied with the whole trip.

If you're traveling within Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka, this pass is worth it. It takes a different route (with longer travel time) but if you wish to save money, this pass is a good choice. (see one of the pictures for sample travel time)
