Japan Rail Pass

Standard ticket (7-day pass – price per person)

The Japan Rail Pass, commonly known as the JR Pass, is a discounted rail pass exclusively available to foreign tourists visiting Japan. It grants unlimited access to most Japan Railways (JR) trains, including the renowned Shinkansen (bullet trains), limited express trains, and local JR trains, for a fixed period, typically 7, 14, or 21 consecutive days. Purchasable prior to arrival through authorized agents outside Japan, the pass offers travelers flexibility and convenience for exploring multiple cities and regions. Upon arrival, travelers exchange their voucher for the pass at designated JR stations, activating it for the specified duration. While certain restrictions apply, such as seat reservations for certain trains and exclusion from private railway lines, the JR Pass remains an attractive option for many foreign visitors seeking to traverse Japan's extensive rail network while enjoying savings and ease of travel.
