What got me was the day allocated for Nara instead of rushing straight back after Osaka. Small detail, but it changes the pace of the trip. I'd been checking train timings and wondering if getting a JR Pass would actually save money. To be fair, I wasn't convinced until I compared everything side by side. Reading through Explore Japan Tours answered a couple of questions I had about moving between cities without spending half the holiday on transport. Genuinely useful. It wasn't trying too hard, and that made the information easier to trust.
