Personal preference: I would never fly once in Japan.  The train system is amazing and I love trains so if decideing to go further afield (down to Kyoto, up to Niigata, Miyagi, Sendai; wherever on Honshu or Hokkaido) I would get a JR Rail Pass (only available to tourists; involves basically free hop on hop off travel on regular trains and set number of Shinkansen or express journies, depending on which pass you get).  But tbf, I’ve never actually been to Okinawa (it’s on my list someday; historically and culturally wildly different from the rest of Japan and I’d love to see it) so I can’t really say whether it would be a better choice and my dislike of air travel once I get to my main destination plays onto this bias.[/quote]

Japan is multiple islands. In some cases, you can't take a train because the train doesn't connect the islands (trying visting Sapporo by train). They do have very nice ferries, but a lot of people just fly. The busiest air route in the world by number of passengers used to be Osaka-Tokyo, though maybe it's changed with the pandemic.[/quote]
