www.JapanRail.com is gone

A short while back, I had posted some info about travelling while in Tokyo, Japan using the rail system run by Japan Rail, JR. Ove the last few weeks the site had been down temporarily. Now, the site has formally closed down. Many of the links I posted should still work. If not, you may want to check the info no posted on the site:
