Japan Rail Pass Price💰

The Japan Rail Pass price may vary depending on whether it is an Ordinary or a Green (First class). If you want to travel in more comfort, you can buy the Green Pass, which gives you great amenities, a quieter and less crowded coach cabins with reclining seats, a footrest, and space to stretch out your legs for the long journey.
  • Adult aged 12 years old and above
  • Child aged 6 to 11 years old
  • Infant aged 0-5 years old
Notes: A Child Pass is required if the child occupies a seat in a reserved seat carriage or travels alone. Infants under the age of 6 travel free on Japan Rail, but this also means that infants are not entitled to a seat. In non-reserved, reserved and green carriage, you can carry them on empty seats, but if the train is very busy or with reserved seats, you must carry them on your lap. Therefore, each infant under 6 years of age must travel with 1 adult.

How To Do Seat Reservations? 💺

❗April 27 to May 6
❗August 11-20
❗December 28 to January 6
There are 2 ways for you to reserve train tickets:
👉You can go the JR Ticket Office in the stations “Midori-no-madoguchi”, and simply show your Japan Rail Pass to the train staff to get your reserved seat JR trains tickets.
👉You can also go to the reserved seat ticket machine in most major JR line stations to book and issue a reserved seat ticket without waiting in line at the ticket office.
