Experienced foreigners know to buy their JR pass BEFORE you go to Japan. It's much, much cheaper. You can travel in the green car for about the same price as a normal seat, plus with JR East you can ride the subways for free and don't even have to stand in line.

I'm sure I wrote all the details here on Flyertalk 3 or 4 years ago.
