Interesting, you must either be an absolute Savage at spending sats(doubtful) or you don't care much about privacy.

I try and use cash anytime I'm using USD. Privacy loves a crowd, the more people using cash the better.

did the math and it didnt make sense for us even though we were traveling a fair bit. so ymmv --can easily just top up a suica too.

It's still baffling to me that bitcoiners are spending their time on X. I can understand checking here and there, but to spend all their time on it... why? 😔

It’s only available to foreigners. My late aunt was Japanese, and her family called it the “magic pass” when my uncle would come to Japan and get it.

Depends how many trips you’re doing and how far you’re going vs how long you’re staying.

The 14 day pass for our three bullet train rides and random jr train rides wasn’t worth it for us, so we just loaded an IC card(Suica app) with some yen and bought our bullet train tickets individually on Klook.

The JR pass doesn’t work on all the trains but the IC card works on trains and busses minus the bullet trains.

I’ll be using one on my trip in a week, travelling a big portion of the country. Will let you know once I’m back if I feel like the cost is worth it!

Are you coming back?

It got a lot more expensive since last year. From what I understand buying the rail pass vs just buying individual tickets is about the same now.

なるほど！

Was it to burn the rest of your cash?

I just realized I have a non-trivial amount of foreign currency in physical form that I haven’t touched in years. Time to cash out. nostr:note1gkp4thefg54dn8pprlsrt5wv8k69pnls6au9xpvt4vv84vhv2raqjge47d
