What is a Japan Rail Pass?
The Japan Rail Pass allows the pass holder unlimited, great value travel on Japan’s extensive travel network, considered to be one of the most efficient in the world. This includes the world famous Shinkansen Bullet Train (Excluding Nozomi class trains), the entire Japan Railways service and a selection of buses.
With a JR Pass the entire country is yours to explore freely, from the frozen wilderness of the northern island of Hokkaido to the sandy beaches of Kyushu to the south, and everything in between!
Why buy a Japan Rail Pass?
Your JR Pass is not only beneficial to just your travel arrangements, Japan Rail also runs a selection of hotels in the vicinity of all major stations. By presenting your Japan Rail Pass, you are entitled to a special discount, a saving that only JR Pass holders can take advantage of.
Did you know that when you purchase a JR Pass you can choose your own seating arrangements for free, a privilege that can become quite costly on normal tickets? The savings that can be made compared with buying single tickets are phenomenal and with the exchange rate conversion updated weekly, you are sure to get the best deal available anywhere.
Is The Japan Rail Pass Expensive?
While the initial price may seem somewhat daunting, the cost benefit of purchasing a Japan Rail Pass is excellent. The cost of just a single Bullet Train journey from Tokyo to Kyoto can cost up to half the price of a whole week-long JR Pass! The Japan Rail Pass also allows the holder to travel on all the Japan Rail operated trains both within cities and across the country. With the opportunity of riding a selection of buses and even a ferry that takes you to the elusive Miyajima Island, a Japan Rail Pass is the only travel arrangement you will need to make for your trip to Japan.
How Do I Use a Japan Rail Pass?
Using a Japan Rail Pass is easy. Once we issue you with a JR Pass exchange order, it can be exchanged at many major Japan Rail stations for your official pass, provided you have a visitor visa stamped in your passport. Depending on the ticket purchased, the pass holder can travel as much as they wish for 7, 14 or 21 consecutive days.
