Hi all
I know some forum goers here have gone to Japan here and I am going this year but how easy is it to travel as a foreigner? Living in London the tourists generally find it easy as the train lines are colour coded, so if your stop is on the red line you just got to get the train from any red line station.
But in general, are the train lines colour coded, are signs in English, are there tons of stops which can make it confusing etc? I go for two weeks so I want a 14 day Japanese rail pass to make the most of the situation and travel pretty much all over.
