The 'JR East" rail pass includes Tokyo so that's a good starting point. After you have spent a few days in dazzling Tokyo, head out to the beautiful countryside and seashores of Eastern Honshu. The Shinkansen bullet train will take you there in just a few hours. The cities of Yamagata or Fukushima are lovely towns by the sea where you can get the freshest sushi. Go to Nagano in winter to ski. Eastern Honshu is very diverse and there is lots of things to see and do. And the best way to explore this part of Japan is of course the Japan Rail "JR East" rail pass.
