Shinkansent! HAHA. Shin-Osaka to Tokyo in ~3 hours time. :)
Trains are the most convenient way of travelling in Japan. For foreigners with the JR Pass, it is very easy to reserve seats for the Shinkansen train, just go to the JR Office inside the train station, and the Japanese staffs will be happy to reserve seats for you. JR Pass covers only JR Trains, including Local Trains and Shinkansen. However, if you plan to ride the Mizuho and Nozomi Shinkansen trains, you need to pay a fee on top of your JR Pass.
